So many thoughts.....

Last night, I was wiped out. I go to bed and immediately think of a million things. For one, like I did not pay my student loans last month!! I am far enough a ahead that it won't affect me, but for some strange reason it came to me. This morning I have logged in and made arrangements for the next few months to be automatically taken out.

Then the next thing that came to mind, was kind of a sad feeling. Again, for some reason, I thought of all the things Brittany used to say at work, that would make us all laugh! Maybe I need to hear something crazy, bizarre, ridiculous come out of her mouth. I think most days when we where recruiters, she would just sit and think of crazy things. I know I am good posting this, since she can not remember her log in, etc and does not check nor post to her blog. Boy that would be some great entertainment yet! To this day, I can not remember what strange animal she thought she could have as a pet....Llama, maybe?? But she asked us, if she could have it as a pet. Goodness, we told her NO! But she insisted that she really could.
Another time, she accidentally emailed a guy looking for a job, instead of someone else. She was talking about Grey's Anatomy and how shocked she had been with the episode that was on the night before. At least the guy replied with a " I know!!! I could not believe that either!"
Goodness, so MANY MORE things about Brittany :)

Then I thought of Brenda! Yes, I am going to talk about you now, as I know you read this. Brenda & I sat across from each other, yet divided by a cube wall. I really did not know much about her, just little bits here and there. Many of us where jealous of her desk at the time, back corner, boss never walked ALL the way back there, and if she did Brenda would have plenty of time to change her computer screen. I was jealous when I was at WIU....all the homework I could have been doing and multi-tasking at the same time all while at work! Then we recieved a new boss, who wanted to break us up from our cube mates we had grown to love. Brenda was moved to my side and right behind me! I will admit, losing Gretchen to obtain Dale and Brenda was a little heart breaking. However, I made the most of it and Brenda and I began to talk more and more. She is the one who influenced me to begin a blog, however she could not influence me to do the whole 1001 things in so many days. Maybe I will start my own smaller version.

Then Gretchen!!! Her and I began at Volt as recruiters the same time, sat right next to each other. She is the one I talked to about almost everything. When I wanted to complain about Will, she got to hear it. But then again, I got to hear about her and her husband at the time, so it was give and take :) If you would ever see Gretchen, you would NEVER think of her as a biology nerd!! haha, that is right. She was all about fashion, SHOES, purses.....never in a million years would I have even guessed she loved biology as much as she really does. She currently is back in her home state of Washington trying to get on at the University of Washington as a researcher, and that way she can go to school for free, to obtain her Master's.

Why was I thinking of my past co-workers?? I have no idea. It could possibly be that we where such a small group and we became such good friends, each of us having our own story but yet somehow connected to others with similiar situations and now I don't have that. Maybe now, I work with 2 ladies that are not around my age, where all of us at Volt where close in age. Maybe, Brittany, Brenda & Gretchen had some sort of impact and will stay in my heart forever.
So many maybe's..........................................
