Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 01:40 pmIt's a bit quiet in the office today.
It turns out that one of the team leaders from the next section along on our floor was found dead at home by a colleague this morning. I didn't have any dealings with the chap myself, but you couldn't miss him - he was a large, loud chap who had a patent and cheerful disregard for the niceties of working in open plan.
As I say, I had no dealings with him, but the place is noticeably quieter without him and his immediate co-workers are understandably glum, he was quite a popular chap.
The really sad part is that he was only found today: not having been in the office yesterday and not having made contact, a colleague went round to see what was up and made the discovery. I have no details, but the insinuation is that he could have fallen ill on Friday evening after work (he could have been feeling under the weather at work, for all I know), but there was no one there to help or even notice until someone from the office took it upon themselves to check.
It can be a lonely old world.
