‘Simba, remember who you are’
We got an all staff Teams ping that we hired an office manager.
Today is the birthday of my favorite office manager, Sue. She died during covid. No one sent a note about that.
I have been thinking about our longtime office manager, Liz. After driving herself crazy coordinating the sale of the building and setup at the new place, she had a stroke. I’d sent her the biggest bouquet of flowers I could locate in the city she subsequently had to retire to.
I didn’t welcome the new manager. I’ll never see her. We’re fully remote except for when we use our TV studio.
It just got me to thinking about all the people who worked hard and were replaced when they couldn’t do it anymore.
It’s the circle of life, as it were.
Liz and Sue ran so this new person could walk. And yes, I wrote the analogy correctly.
