with the ups, the downs

Previously, I mentioned a seasonal co-worker diagnosed with stage four cancer at the age of 21.

Today I was told she had died.
It’s totally fucked up, but it would seem I am buffered by adding two good friends to the survivor list. Also, I am two weeks from a personal landmark, which helps hold it lighter than normal…

*sigh*

Work has become a heavy place, what with layoff, fifteen permanent posts being eliminated, two cancer-deaths in six months and shift cuts for the month (although honestly that last one is an annual thing…)

Overall…? I am okay. At least.

*smooch*
