I went out to dinner the other evening with some of my best girlfriends. These five women and I started work together many ages ago and have joked for years we are one another's part-time friends because when we first met we all had lives outside of work.

Somewhere along the way we really became full-time friends since half of us stay home and the rest (minus one) no longer work at the company where we started our "professional careers". They are frequent readers of the Schmidt blog (even though they don't comment but in person) they were kidding I never blog about them, so here you go girls a corny poem just for you!

Ode To My Part-Time Friends
Oh, so many years ago,
When friends we first became.
Our hairstyles, we've had many,
But we are still the same.

Nik is still the one who tells you like it is,
Sue remains so sweet - a mother now of twins.
Susie is a two boy mom working downtown in a tower,
Amy's still a size zero and teaches little P hockey girl power.
Candra should be sainted for staying on the corporate path,
and I am writing a little blog just hoping to make you laugh.

Nearly fifteen years have passed,
in our friendship tried and true.
For thirty, forty, fifty more years,
I hope to be part-time friends with you.
