But unfortunately at times it is. Which both bothers and upsets me.
This week is March Break and many people are off work. It’s quiet, which is really nice. Leaving a meeting yesterday a colleague asked me if I was in all week or taking time off. I told him I was working from home Thursday and off on Friday. Of course he went on to joke about me partying hard for St. Patrick’s Day. If only that were the case. It’s not like I can turn and say. “Well no I am celebrating my dead son’s birthday.” That would create an awkward moment. Something you just don’t do in an office environment.
Instead I just smile and laugh. Something you just get good at faking.

So true. When I went back to work after taking the day for Cole’s birthday, I was asked if I enjoyed my day off… Yeah, not so much. I just pretended I didn’t hear the question.
