My friends and co-workers Audra Norton and Mikhaela Denny are leaving for other jobs. I am sad to see them both go. Many times, I’ve botched a coworker’s goodbye trying to remember this quote from the Shawshank Redemption. I will put it here verbatim, so I can set the record straight:
“Sometimes it makes me sad though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds just aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place that you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone.”
How it goes. ✌️
