Last night I went out for a drink with a friend from work. It reminded me of being back in Ireland, how me and my co-workers frequently went out for drinks and hung out with each other on the weekends.
The bar happened to be a British Pub, and I was impressed. I had a Magners Cider for the first time since back in April of 08. The other cool thing is that it happen to be within walking distance of my apartment.
While we were having a drink in the pub we talked about work, traveling, and just life in general. The funny thing about work and life is that they appear to be parallel worlds, where the same rules don't apply in either. The team of people I worked with since June recently had one of the senior members resign. He had been an integral part of the team, working very closely with the manager and other members of the team. I was out sick for a few days last week, and when I returned he was gone.
The strange thing about it, was that no one seemed to care. Work continued as if it was just another day, as if we hadn't just lost a vital team mate. In life if someone important leaves, people talk about it, people show there feelings, in business everything just continues as if they were never there in the first place.
I don't think I'm an overly emotional person, in fact the people I care most about in this world have probably only heard me say I love you a handful of times, and that is something I would like to change.

In other news, I'm going to visit my parents in 2 weeks and I can't wait. I love taking trips of any sort and this cross-country journey will be short but nice. I will be in Florida from the 17th until the 19th hopefully just relaxing and enjoying some good home cooked meals.  ¶ 1:42 PM
