I was expecting to spend most of my Christmas Eve at work alone. I arrived in the office early and found all the lights off so I assumed I was the first (and probably only) person in. Once I sat down I heard typing coming from the cube of a coworker who's been out of the office for the last three weeks because of a stroke. I rounded the corner and found him sitting there! I was shocked. It was like seeing a ghost!
He's mostly put back together again and I think he will be returning to work after the holidays. Dang that makes me happy. I was really scared he'd be gone forever. Man, what a relief.
