The Transition Row

There is a quiet little row with introverts. They sit in their little cubicle all in a row. One cubical has an affinity for people that wear gold watches. The people that sit in this cube move quickly out of the company into a new adventure. The others in that row will eventually move on to new adventures outside the company.

One of our cube mates in our row. Just moved into a new apartment and all sorts of things started to cascade in her life. She got a new job that she had yet to start. She had just unpacked all of her furniture and other things she'd had in storage. With this new job she had yet to start, she got two options for locations for that new position. She was waiting for an answer on another position to feed her love of travel. She got a call to attend a funeral for a relative. While she was at this funeral, she had a total life make over in so many ways. She suddenly became Cinderella in so many ways. She had to contact the management of her apartment to tell them she needed to move to another state and break her lease. The state she was moving too, called her to it much sooner than she expected. She will be telling her new employer that she won't be taking that new position after all. In a way, its sort of like she won the lottery of life. She inherited a farm and needed to go run it.

The cube mate with the gold watch had left to return to his home country the month before. He had spent about a year in our country and found that not everything is as it seems. Before we could dwell on missing him. His replacement to that cube appeared, he was a young student that would be attending school to become a graphic design artist. He also wore a gold watch. The irony, is that both he and our new Cinderella would be leaving sometime in August.

Now we will have two cubes to fill instead of the one. It will be interesting to see if the cube that loves gold watches will get another replacement in it. Will the cube with Cinderella, get another boisterous person; who is the life of the party? We will miss both of these co-workers. They both add lots of personality. The lead is a patient lead, he is quiet and reserved. He is very approachable and funny. We are like a little family of co-workers as our row becomes like an empty nest as each person takes turns at a new adventure in their life.

It will be interesting to see who will be the next person to start a new adventure in their life?
