Today

A coworker walked up to me today while I was sitting in my cubical working. I was listening to music & to get my attention she tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see her with an expression of genuine sympathy on her face. Worried, I took my headphones off to see what was the matter, & she asked “Are you going to be ok?” Puzzled I responded “Did I get fired again?” This is an ongoing joke between us.
She looked at me & said “No, but your buddy Rob called. He said he isn’t going to be able to make it in today.”
I cried from joy.
