Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 249 (Tuesday 6 September) - Bye Bye Francis

A very sad day today.

My very good friend (and ex), Francis, who found a job at work for me, and lobbied hard to get me an interview, left the company I work for today after 15 years! He has a fabulous new job, perfectly suited to his skills, and in this case, I think the grass will be so green it will be vivid neon lime.

Still, even though I am happy for him, work won't be quite the same without his larger-than-life exhuberant personality and our heart to hearts about work and life, especially on the days when I wanted I was so frustrated I just wanted to walk out of the office.

He will be greatly missed but so happy he is beginning a great new chapter in his life.
