So a woman just called to talk to my boss, who is a lawyer, in case you didn't know, I work at a law firm.

She called and wanted to speak with Vic. She said it was kind of urgent, but I let her know I could only leave him a message. She was fine with that, but talked to me instead. She told me she had called a different lawyer and they told her they couldn't help her because they were busy. Which is unreal, the secretary wouldn't even let her speak with anyone. She asked if I thought maybe they were helping out her office, she called because of an employment issue with her company. She then proceeded to tell me that she felt like everyone was staring at her and knew she had done something against them when she left the office, she said she was worried. She kept talking to me and told me that her husband had passed away and this company let her work for them because her husband used to work there and now that he had passed away she kind of took his spot per say. She then told me that she has had someone close to her die almost every year since 1997. I almost started to cry because she almost did... I could hear it in her voice. She just kept saying how worried she was that she wasn't going to have enough money because this company kept playing games with her and were eventually going to fire her. I just told her to not let anyone in her office affect how she felt about the situation. If she felt like she needed a lawyer, then so be it and that's that and if they were staring at her so what, she's doing the right thing by getting legal advice.

I don't know why I'm typing this, but it just makes me look at people in a different way. Between my job here and at HomeInstead when I would talk to my co-worker, Anne, about everything that was going on at home, I've met some amazing people. Anne quit the other day... she was telling me that she owns a construction company, basically re-doing houses and she didn't have time for it anymore, she said she missed doing it and that she wanted to go back to it, so I suppose that's what she did. I don't know, but I know I'm gonna miss her. She was seriously like a second mother to me, she gave me advice and even one time said she saw a lot of herself in me, which is awesome because she's such a strong woman. I really want to be like her when I get out of college, she is/was an amazing friend to me. I will miss her dearly. It was nice to have someone older to talk to. I feel as if God put's everyone in your life for a certain reason.

Jeremy and I are talking again.. and it's amazing. He makes me feel like someone, if that makes any sense.
