I miss my officemates, really, especially my boss, Ms. Grace. She'd always come up with nasty one-liners appropriate to the situation. Like this one scenario, for instance:
There were technically only four of us in the HR Department. Five, if one counts the nurse, but she's always quiet, and she's not as evil as us, so she doesn't cackle at misfortune the way we witches do. Anyway, so there were four of us, and we were laughing quite loudly at something someone or the other said, when one of the Australian clients stepped in. She asked Ms. Grace, "How come when I see you guys, you're always laughing?" And Ms. Grace said, in between tears, "Because if we don't laugh, we will cry!" And then we laughed some more.
And it was very true, what she said, and very Filipino. I don't think any of us would have survived if we never laughed every so often.
Of course, I'm not with them anymore, but that's beside the point. :-P
