I just got news that a guy i work with was dead at home. He was a really good friend of mine. i remember the first time i met him i was new at my job. Everyone there would break his balls and make fun of him because he was slow(not retarded slow or anything. he just didn't work as fast as everyone else). I felt bad for him because he would eat lunch by himself because nobody would talk to him. So i went over and sat with him and ate my lunch with him. He seemed to like that very much and when i did that it seemed like everyone that would make fun of him kind of cooled down. Which was cool because he seemed to enjoy coming to work after that. A couple of months ago (acually i think it was around christmas time) his wife had passed away. He took a voluntary lay off from work to deal with evrything that was going on in his life. He came back to work at the beginning of this month and had decided to retire at the end of the month. Which would be this week. Now i have to make plans to go to a funeral.
