Just a little heart-bearing to go with that side of guilt...

One of my co-workers, for the sake of argument (and protecting her identity) we'll call her Sam,... well... ex-coworker now... was... well... not kidnapped, but damn close and it cost her her job. She was the main person I worked with in the office and now we've thrown the guy who was originall supposed to replace me at the end of the summer into the deep end of trying to do her job right now.

What happened was that during our 'lunch' on Thursday Sam's boyfriend (who doesn't work for LTD) pulled up in his car, they had some sort of argument/disagreement/altercation and he took her with him. Not 'she left with him,' not 'she reluctantly chose him over her work', he took her with him. She wasn't given the time to clock out, explain any 'situation' to her Group Leader or Supervisor, she wasn't even able to return to Inbound and retrieve her sunglasses and waterbottle from her desk. I'll admit that I've only known her a few weeks, but we all agree that this is very unlike her. She always came to work to work and enjoyed doing so. She did arrive for work today, so at least we know she's alive, gave our Supervisor notes to give people who she'd lent things or who had lent her things to get everything back where it belongs and was separated from the company for work abandonment.

Many of us agree that even though we know she's ok, we don't think that she's OK and I'd appreciate it if those of you who do could keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
