No. 34 - LYN

Lyn and I worked together in the city. She is one of the kindest, stylish, most caring and thoughtful people I know. Although initially I was Lyn's co-ordinator, when I knew she would be in the next day, I would spend the afternoon tidying up, because I felt I had to make it nice for her = )

Lyn is better than one of the best team members you could ever ask for. Our department was renowned for the most stress, tears and tantrums by both staff and customers alike. Lyn was wonderful at dealing with the worst of it, although as like all the team members in the department, was forced to take on stress that just shouldn't need to exist in a retail environment. We surely weren't being paid for it.

Later on, Lyn moved to a store closer to her home. I was heartbroken to be losing my best confidant but overjoyed as it now meant she would visit me on her days off. Lyn's style is second to none and fine dining, including high teas go along with that. Our favourite place to go was The Rose cafe, and the finger sandwiches were the must have!

I have let life get in the way of catching up with Lyn and I really must give her a call. She was kind enough to say she would visit after Brian's birth only when I was comfortable. I think 18 months is MUCH too long!
