Bad start
This morning I was woken by the phone. Lisa answered it, but I decided to get up anyway. While she spoke to her friend, I checked my e-mail and found a message from my sister. Her father-in-law passed away. Lisa then told me that it was a good friend of hers calling because her father was killed in an accident yesterday. That is not the way to begin a morning.
So yeah, I’m a tad distracted…

Oh dear - I am so sorry! My heart goes out to your sister and Lisa’s friend (and you guys, of course).
You know - we just had two managers in my department lose their dads. It is apparently not a good time to be a father.
:( Sorry to hear about the double whammy
i am so sorry to hear that
