Every Friday we have a morning meeting at the library for the reference and support staff. It usually runs an hour because some people have to put their two-cents in, and it's not worth even 2 cents. But luckily the gabbers weren't in so it was a 20 min. meeting.
But some people were acting odd. They sat apart, so I thought they were going to speak. Finally, one of the people sitting apart was approached by another person. The woman gets up and whispers in our boss's ear. At the end of the meeting, the boss tells us the bad news that an ex-cw has passed away.
Some people mentioned they saw him the previous week and he looked terrible.
I said I would look for his obit, but I don't see one.
Now the person who knew the ex-cw best (at this most recent time) was the one who told the cw who told the boss he passed on. So everyone figured he must be dead, that his step-son didn't know who to contact at the library to let anyone know.
The dead ex-cw called latter that afternoon.
He's alive and well.
Seems someone in another dept (we don't know who) said he was dead, and it got passed along.
The ex-cw called to let everyone know he was alive and well, and then he came in on Sat.
