I had a wonderful day at work, yesterday. My officemate left for another company... and my friend said she'd move in, though she's also leaving in a few months and won't be able to. She said I was one of the few people she'd like to sit with there.
I also talked to my managers - they have a meeting with HR later this week (just them) and I'll hear about it afterward. I think they're talking with another manager who went through this process and probably getting a little education, too.
