Gratitude Monday: Friends with fireworks

For Gratitude Monday today, I’m grateful for friends who support me when I get thrown crap like that system-generated email from the company looking for employees with empathy.

In particular, for the friend who sent me incredibly beautiful Chinese fireworks:


She also assured me that any company that could send such an email in the circumstances is unlikely to provide a salubrious work environment. (Not her words, exactly, but essentially the drift.)

It was an unexpected act of consolation from someone I basically know virtually, and it made a really nice change from people who said, “Well—at least [company] told you… That’s something.”

So I’m sharing it with you. At the least, if you’re feeling fine it will expand on that; at the most, if you’re down it’ll lift your spirits.
