Dear Computer Geek who sits at the desk near mine,
I missed you at work today. I missed it when you cussed in German. I missed sharing gummi bears with you. I missed your bad jokes. I missed that the admin assistant forgot to get you lunch on purpose. I missed the way you get frazzled and then say, oh well, letting pretty much everything roll off your back. I missed the the way you are a pushover and can’t tell any of us no if we need help.
Yeah, please never ever again call in sick or I have to listen to even worse jokes.
Listen, I won’t admit this when you return to your cubicle tomorrow, but I did miss you.
Your work friend,
Google Girl
