a kick to the gut

one of my bosses died today. she was probaby somewhere between 48 and 52. it was a total surprise all the way around. she fell off a ladder last night and hit her head; her husband found her some time later; they took her to the hospital, and i don't believe she ever woke up.

i was shocked this morning since that was the first i'd heard about it. then i was numb the rest of the day. i told the husband i wanted to go out for supper ... out where there was a lot of noise and people and kids and life.

she was smart and sweet and strong and fair, and so very good in her highly-placed position. we are going to miss her an unbelieveable amount.

    Such a sad thing--and so shocking. I imagine that it will be hard to go back to work for a while.

  2. well, she had recently moved over to a different building and i was seeing a lot less of her, but she was so vital and it's going to be awful without her. she could see through the crap and the games and she would have had an enormously positive impact in her new place. it's just bad for everyone.
