Heavy Hearted

... and I can't even share why, yet.


Sigh.

UPDATE: Since everybody's "SOOOO Happy" according to someone who simultaneously speaks on behalf of the affected party while claiming NOT to speak on behalf of said party (go figure - but par for the course with this particularly unhinged individual), I suppose I'm no longer in a position to feel badly about the lost potential of my former office-mate. I tried to hint. I tried to guide. I even gave plain-English warnings, "don't even look like you're doing this. Better watch out for that." In the end, choices were made, the die was cast and I no longer could serve as a buffer between him and those who make the decisions. Truly, I was a better friend to him than he knows or will likely believe - despite it all. In the final analysis, everyone lives or dies on their own merits. I wish things could have been different, but it's time to close the door on this chapter, and I am doing so.
