n = n - 1

Today was the last day of work for a co-worker and a good friend. She worked for me for ~6 months during the past 4 years but now is leaving the exciting field of finance to go back to school for interior design. Sigh... one less person to eat lunch with. :(

Also, several people "disappeared" from the corporate directory which means they either quit or were fired. Since no one received any "farewell" email, I'm pretty certain they were fired. Does wonders for morale...
