Planned to go home this afternoon and chill and maybe clear some work.
My colleague texted me, “I need beer.” 🍺
I responded that I would treat her, thinking that that was it. We are halfway through the school term. Fighting fire is our middle name as we struggle to complete multiple deadlines within short time periods.
“Where are you now?” She continued.
Okay, this was serious. Recognising her need to step away from all her stresses, I replied that I was free and even set a time to meet her for a pint of drinks.
I do pride myself to be someone who can drop everything at the drop of a hat and be with a friend who is seeking solace.
This is real friendship. The ability to drop everything to be there for a friend who needs a break is rare. Respect to you, hope you both enjoyed it.
