I emailed a co-worker whom I told he could use my parking spot at work that I would be in for HR work.

He said let's all go out for coffee, which I said sure thing.

When I got to work about 10 or so co-workers came over to see how I was doing. I gave them a brief on how things were going and that I will be out for several more weeks (Robin at Marci's office emailed me today and said I can go back to work around March 2nd).

So six of us took a walk over to the nearby Starbucks, got coffee, came back and chatted for a while followed by me visiting HR to get my name change going there.

I was very happy that everyone came over to see me and had smiles on their faces which meant a great deal to me.

There was way too much paper work to complete today so I will head back tomorrow and give them the filled out forms.
