For Colleen

Anybody have that one person who keeps them focused and alert to what's happening? It could be at work, home, church, or school- but that one person who just knows everything? (And NOT in the annoying 'let me tell you cause I'm smarter than you' way). Well my person is @ work, and her name is Colleen- she happens to be the office coordinator @ CE- Mid Atlantic, and someone with whom I've had the priviledge of working with over the past 2.5 months. Colleen literally knows everything & ANYTHING I would need to, and she is my contact person for when I need instant access to whatever project I happen to be working on next. Colleen has helped me learn the complicated (NOT) phones @ the office, find numerous documents within the work server, and cuts out newspaper articles and cartoons ('funnies') and leaves them on my desk. She is NOT a morning person (but remains cheerful without caffeine!!) so my job as Intern does not include fetching coffee, but if you ever need anything, I'm sure a Grape Soda would work well, too. :)

I am getting married this weekend, & from then until the end of my Internship w/ CE, I will be working from home- as the commute of over 1 hour would probably cause me to physically harm someone on the road (not to mention hurt my wallet!), so I won't get to be just a few flights of stairs away from Colleen like I've been. So I thought I'd post a youtube clip that she loves in honor of how GREAT CE's awesome office woman is!!



Who'se the person in your life that keeps you on task?

Well, since you've described Colleen as the awesome office manager she is, let me tell you a little about the awesome friend she is, as well.
Colleen is the one person in my life who keeps me alert and focused as to what's happening, and, who, well, knows how I "roll." For over twenty-five years (we just figured out it's been THAT long...ugh, we're getting OLD!)she has been one of my dearest friends and confidants. Whether it be in my marriage, in friendships, or just the daily business of life, Colleen is always armed with scripture, a funny clip or just some good ol' fashion wisdom to help you get through.
No, she's NOT a morning person, but she usually adjusts her additude accordingly and puts a smile on her face anyway. She always makes you feel wanted, needed and will even listen to you repeat the same story or phrase over and over again without saying a word. ;) She's always a phone call (or IM) away and would probably do most anything for a friend. She's dependable (very) and caring too. We've laughed and cried together. I'm not real sure what I'd do without her.
She's a valuable person across the board, whether it be as an office manager, as a friend or both! Anyone who has the privilege of knowing Colleen is blessed! Love you C!

Thank you so much for recognizing Colleen in such a glowing, wonderful tribute to who she is. She is so modest and that is why I feel it is so terrific that you so beautifully portrayed her!
I wish I could put into words how wonderful she really is, but that would take pages!
Miriam ( a friend that sees her in the same way)
