Work matters

Went out last for a works leaving do. Strange when you consider you'll never see someone again; someone who before that day you saw every single working day and took their appearance in the office for granted. The Office got it spot on when it talked about the sheer oddness that work means 'you spend more time with strangers who you share the same carpet with than your own friends or family'.

And then at the end, when the person leaves all you can say is 'have a good life', and then, on Monday, a new person shows up and on it goes.
