You don't know what you have...

No matter how much I apologize or repent, make promises or offer compromises, he's gone. The co-worker who listened to talk radio incessently. The man who would, at random points in the day, scare the daylights out of me by loudly and without warning hacking phlegm. He who annoyed me to no end by obsessing about trivial details, has left forever.

I miss him terribly.
