Feeling sad and pensive.

My 'work husband' quit a couple weeks ago and, now that he's finished his exit interview with HR, they've taken his badge and escorted him out of the building a few minutes ago.

We been through a lot over the years. He's really the only one that I would call a friend here and we've always looked out for each other.

This place is a soul crushing machine. He's moving on to something way better for his health and career. I'm genuinely happy for and not in the least resentful.

Enjoy the moments while they last, folks.

So tell me about your work buddies. Any silly memories to share?
