Magic

Sorry folks, I haven't been around much these days. I took a couple of trips last month, hoping it would put the spring back into my step. Not so much. I guess you always hope to return to work and have problems be magically resolved while you were away, but that is just a fantasy. In fact, I think things actually got worse while I was away. I lost one of the best employees I have ever worked with and she is also a dear friend. She is moving onto bigger and better, so I am happy for her. That doesn't mean it doesn't make me sad to not see her car every morning when I pull up to work or know that I can't call her to go eat Mexican at a moments notice. She and another friend of ours were talking about how wonderful a machine that could instantly take you wherever you wanted to go would be. Again, magic. At work I often wish for a magic wand and a crystal ball because that is what clients expect me to have on hand when their pet is sick, but now I am also wishing for magic in my personal life so I could stay in better touch with those who move away. Just pop in to see them to share a funny story or get a hug on a bad day, then return home. Magic or no magic, I hope she knows how much she will be missed and that we'll all keep waiting for that machine that can warp her back to us for a fun night out or a good laugh.
