holy crap, was this someone you worked in the same office with, or a remote colleague? i ask because in my workplace, at least, we have some colleagues that we work with from halfway across the country.

In our office, we have different groups that deal with our international office. I'm on the one for Australasia areas. We have visitors from our Sydney and Melbourne offices that come to visit. I'd met him several times when he came for meetings though most of our communication was video conferences, emails, and phone calls.

That country is like my second home. I have so many amazing friends there.

You are wonderful and thoughtful ♥

And this is just so bad and scary, the news has ongoing coverage and the count of dead and missing just keeps rising. I knew we were having bad bushfires this year, I just never thought it could get this bad, it's scary enough that it could happen in any part of this country. This is not a place I want to be in right now.

I know any little thing helps and I know so many people in the US just rarely notice things so far from home. It means a lot to me and I want to get the word out to as many people as possible.

I feel like that's my second home because I have so many amazing friends there and people who are closer than any family.

I know you all will pull through and my thoughts are with you guys.
