You get used to seeing the same smiling faces everyday. All of these people have left in the past few months. Lonnie, (below) left today. We still see Georgia from time to time. Jennifer calls once a week. Jeff IM's me or emails a joke my way.
When people leave, it feels like I've lost a part of myself. I've learned to adapt to their personalities through our conversations. In effect, I've added some of their personality to my own.

Jeff now lives in LA. Georgia is working for another company south of Pittburgh.

Most of the contractors have left before 1 year. I seem to be blessed. I've been there for a year and a half

Jennifer left for Vegas.
