Admittedly, I got a bit weepy writing my goodbye post to tech-art rockstar Nam June Paik. ECP Associate Director, Christi, found me at my desk and started laughing when she realized what was going on.
“It’s just like that time you finished the latest Harry Potter book over lunch, and then spent the rest of the afternoon crying!” Christi walked away chuckling to herself then disappeared into an office. Moments later, while I’m putting the last touches on my tribute to Nam June Paik, a voice comes down the hallway from Public Programs Manager, Sarah: “Awwww, Morgan, that’s so sweet!”
There’s no privacy in this department. None!
seems like you had a human response, but your bosses didn’t. or couldn’t.

Yeah – they can be pretty snarky. I am, admittedly, probably the weepiest creature in the department. But a lot of my cohorts are suckers for all things ‘cute.’ When Witt brought his new baby in for a baby shower, you wouldn’t believe the ruckus it caused. People were lining up to cuddle with that super-cute kid!
