Sillyness

For the past six months I've listened to employees whine, grumble, complain, argue and yell on the phone and via email.  Since when did Human Resources become the outlet to vent every life issue?

After talking to unhappy people all day long, it becomes difficult to stay calm and not let the downers get to you.  But instead of reaching the boiling point where you just blurt out "I DON'T GIVE A [fill in word of your choice] ANYMORE", these girls made me realize that you really

shouldn't let it get to you.

They taught me that you should never take work (and life) too seriously, to not sweat the small stuff, and that a good laugh over something stupid (our very own in-office Shrek horse) can really go a long way.

So you guyyyyyys, thanks for being silly and getting me through the worst of days with your delicious treats, bihourly emails and long train commutes full of girl talk.  I wouldn't have lasted a week without you in Cerdanyola.  Think of me when you order the kebab potato "spud" at the [insert thick American accent here] MALL across the street.  I will miss you loads.

Love,
