Thursday - Someone with no feet conforts me over my worn shoes

Today over my morning coffee, I was thinking about my friend Joy, and the conversation I had with her the day after I lost my job. As soon as I got the ax, I sent out an email to all of my personal contacts telling them not to email at the office anymore and why. But that was not my last day in the office. My friends Joe paid me $50 to come in the next day and teach him everything I knew, since he would be taking over my duties. Never being one to turn down an opportunity to freelance, I took him up on it.

The first thing I noticed when I sat down at my old desk was that I had a voicemail. It was from Joy. I thought it was cute that she would leave me a message on my office phone the day after I told her I no longer worked there. I didn't call her back right away, though. I was working on Joe's dime, so I gave my attention to him and his questions and resolved to call Joy that afternoon.
