Re: It\'s a funny old life...
Yeah, the small and big things sometimes mix up. I remember sitting writing an email which was very important when the Tamil cleaner enters my office. It was just a week or so after the tsunami, so I ask him if his family etc. is ok. He just answers "a lot of the people I know are dead" and continues cleaning. I tried to comfort him, but all I could see in his eyes was resignation but also the need to go about with daily life (he would easily have gotten paid leave). My email did not seem important anymore, but it was also a reminder that life goes on no matter what happens (except death [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).
