I'm sorry, but I think I can beat that in a very sad way.

On Monday, when I went to work, one of my colleagues Carolyn who had just pulled into the staff carpark collapsed next to her car. 3 of my other colleagues tried in vain to resuscitate her, but to no avail. The ambulances came but could not revive her, and Carolyn aged 49, passed away. She was a beautiful vibrant lady.

Because she had collapsed in the carpark, it was in full view of many of the staff who were coming into work at the time. So it affected many of us and it was awfully traumatic.

The morning passed in a bit of sad blur, and then I got an email from my 2:30 meeting. Another colleague just heard that his father passed away that morning and he had to go interstate to make arrangements for his father's funeral.

It was a depressing and sad day.
