So, you know, you work closely with someone 8 hours a day for 2 years and if they're good people, you get to consider them a friend and care about them. And so it is very, very sad when something terrible happens to them. When they suffer a loss, it is impossible not to hurt for them. My job in this scenario is to Get the Work Done, to be Normal and Positive, to be as Tavie as ever I can be, to maintain the ph-balance of the Mindless Drone Zone. Because sometimes when unspeakably bad things happen, the Mindless Drone Zone is the only place you can be. I know it. You know it. Dogs know it!

So you have to take your compassion and stuff it in a sack and channel it towards nonreaction, normality, silliness, grumpiness, everything you always are throughout the course of a normal day, because that's the best way you can help.

But inside, okay, you are crying and your heart just hurts for them. You are.

And now, to escape that, I am going to go see that Canadian movie starring Alan Rickman.

Mmmm, Alan Rickman.

Mmmm, Canadians.
