Nlogaxical – What am I doing here?

Without going into any deep detail, I found out this morning – quite accidentally – that someone with whom I’ve worked closely (while in a previous job) committed suicide just before Christmas. We may have only been com-padres in the professional sense..we didn’t go out drinking or socialise outside of a server facility or meeting room, but nonetheless I admired the guy an awful lot. He was an immense talent, and worked harder than anyone else I’ve known. He was respected by his peers and colleagues, and adored by everyone who met him. He was two years younger than me.

All I can really state beyond the obvious shock and sadness, is the utter waste and futility of his passing, and..anger. I wish he’d said something, anything, to his close friends and colleagues. The truth is, however, he’s dead, and there’s nothing anyone can do except remember.

The new year can only improve, can’t it? Let’s hope so. Have a happy 2010.
