Spreading the Word

Remember a couple of weeks ago, when I was debating telling my co-worker B. about my site? Well, I went ahead and showed her The Space Suitcase, and the world has not crumbled around my ears. That’s because I knew that she would be discreet, and not shout the URL from the rooftops or in the conference room during an all-company meeting. She’s cool like that.

B’s so cool, in fact, that last week while I was on vacation, she looked in on our cats and lived to tell about it (she’s a dog person). She even let us know about strange events, like the flooding of downtown, and the fact that our (less-than-awesome) building management had given less than 24-hours notice of an “apartment inspection,” necessitating an early-morning trip on her part to secure the kitties against escape. She rocks.

While I was sunning myself in North Carolina, B also had to put up with watching our awesome BossLady pack her office and mementos for an amazing new job opportunity in Nashville. BossLady (B’s nickname for her, which is perfect) was a great boss, and an amazing lady with a knack for questioning authority without disrespecting it, as well as being an fierce advocate for her team. Trust me when I say it was much easier to come back and see BossLady’s empty office than I’m sure it must have been for B to watch the boxes get packed all week.

Which is why I totally got it when I returned to work this Monday and saw this is my cubby:

It’s hard to read, but those white notes across the top row of glass blocks read: “You have NO idea how much I missed you last week!!!”

One thing I did do before I left was help B. start a blog. She’s done a great job with it in just a few short weeks, incorporating her amazing photography skills with great writing. I hope you’ll all check it out, and say hello to Shutterboo!
