Hands down: the Besst of Wednesday was the visit from Eve.
Eve used to work with my team. We lost her when our two companies merged and her position was eliminated. Not only did we lose a very talented analyst; we lost..
– a rare soul who casually drops Kafka into office conversation,
– who makes a mean pumpkin chocolate cookie,
– who poured her heart and soul into her job for over a year even when she knew that she wasn’t going to have a job;
– who when she left changed the placard on her cubicle to read: The Eve T. Hoffman Memorial Cubicle and Infotainment Center.
I borrowed this shot from Eve. I hope she doesn’t mind. It’s all we had left, after we left.
(The ‘T’ is for ‘Tiberius.’)
She stopped by because tomorrow we’re celebrating some birthdays, and she wasn’t going to be able to meet us for lunch. So she came by with brownies for us to share, complete with candles.
We miss her. I miss her. It’s great to see her.
