[quote=Anonymous]I worked with a former colleague for several years over which we became quite close, talking and DM'ing multiple times a day. We worked great together, we shared aspects of our personal lives, and we supported each other as my workplace can be stressful. They left for a new job a couple of months ago, and I find myself missing them a lot. It's hitting me more in the last week or two, I think, because between vacations and new school year etc I was distracted in the summer.

We still chat about once a week and text occasionally. We don't live in the same place, so coffee/lunch is not an option. While the friendship is mutual, I'm experiencing the loss of our former interactions more acutely since I'm still in my old job...just without a person who made it so much more enjoyable. We've even talked about this.

Not looking for advice, just venting. My workplace has gotten even more unpleasant lately. And, another colleague I'm close with is about to go on parental leave...and another is planning their retirement. Even though it's Saturday, it's hitting me hard today :([/quote]
