I'm not dead and I still work here...

It came to my attention that my coworkers thought that I had quit.

I was away from Wednesday afternoon through Monday afternoon. I had cleared off my desk and taken some personal items home before I left on Wednesday. Our IT people moved my computer to my bosses office that afternoon. The previous people who had held my position did not last long.

I was only away at the AIGA Leadership Conference in Portland for 5 days and the interior design folks were updating my desk.

This utterly amused me. People had talked about how I was so nice and how they had liked me and they couldn't beleive I was gone. There were also GIANT bouquets of flowers around the office that made me think to myself (did they think I died?!) but turned out to be from a wedding that an office coworker attended and brought back to share all over the office. They smell amazing, but when displayed alone and not in a group, appear to be funeral florals.

It's nice to be missed.

More reflections on the AIGA Leadership conference later!
