Kristen: The one who keeps me sane.

As you may know, recently, I've begun to dislike my job more and more. I probably would have gouged my eyes out by now, if it weren't for Kristen. Kristen is a co-worker of mine, she started here almost a year ago now.

All we knew about Kristen before she started was that she was married and her husband was in law school. It was about two days after I started dating a then-law student, so I was excited that I'd have someone to tell me what it was like. Kristen was actually the first person I told (at work) about Nick and I, and she barely knew me.

During the summer, Kristen is the one who will go outside and lay on the grass with me. When I was getting sick a lot this summer, Kristen is the one who drives my car home because someone else had to drive me home earlier.

But, Kristen is the one at work who has the same opinions of certain people that I do. She's the one who understands when I get frustrated at the behavior of specific people, and therefore can talk me down from my ledge when I'm ready to jump. So, it's probably thanks to Kristen that I still have a job.
