All in a day's living
Dec. 11th, 2008 08:57 pmOne of the girls I work with... I shall call her Jabber because the girls at work are a little put out with me that they don't get nicknames like the girls at my last job and I explained that I didn't HAVE to anymore because I didn't need to hide where I work anymore but they still want nicknames so there's a nickname! It's not like they read this so they won't KNOW either way but now I can tell them they have nicknames... anyway, back to the story.
One of the girls I work with, Jabber, has been on the cusp of a divorce for quite awhile. It concerns me that you can be on the CUSP of something so serious for so long. I see her side of the story and wouldn't know her husband if he came up to me in a well-lit grocery store aisle so I'm never going to get his, but it just seems weird to be listening to someone talk about their life in such... DETAIL. I feel as if I should do something. They can't afford a divorce right now so I guess they'll be living as roommates for all intents and purposes until they can come up with the money.
So I'm doing all I can do... listening and commisserating and praying.
But it's still odd.
I dearly love this girl to death. She makes me smile all the time with her exurberance for life. It's like having a puppy! You can't discipline them because they look so cute all the time. She's one of those people that is both easy to be around and irritating to be around all at the same time. She has attrocious language skills and even worse writing skills and hates books (although her son loves to read so I guess that is genetic!) but she makes friends easily and makes people laugh - at themselves and others!
I don't know why I'm telling you this but I thought of it so I thought I would share. And now I'm going over to facebook to send her useless flair because it'll be something to talk about tomorrow and it makes her smile!
There is talk of snow tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
