Just another day at the office

Our department admin, R, came in the front door. Sitting in a chair near the entrance was her friend, G. R asked G how she was doing, and G said she was feeling a little tired. About lunchtime, the paramedics wheeled G’s lifeless body out of our office, after she collapsed outside the ladies room. G was overweight, and suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure.

Sometimes life has a way of reminding us of our mortality, and rarely are these ways pleasant.
