When I got to work today, my work friend was in the break room talking to our team leader about something. My work friend had big sunglasses on even though we were inside. When he saw me, he said hi and that he bought a coffee today using the gift card I gave him. Yay.
My work friend left a minute later; he wasn’t working today, so I was wondering why he was even at Target to begin with. I asked our team leader why my work friend had sunglasses on. He said that my work friend cut his eye area by hitting his head on a shelf last night (about an hour after I had gone home) while he was zoning in the toy department, and he had to get stitches.
I don’t know if the cut has affected his eyesight or if the cut was only near the eye. All I know is that a Code Green was called, which means a team member or a guest was physically injured badly enough to need assistance.
I hope my work friend comes in for work tomorrow so I can ask him how he is doing. During the brief time I saw him today, he seemed pretty upbeat, so that’s a good sign. I can’t believe I missed such a big event involving my work friend. I know there’s nothing I could have done, but I wish I could have been there for him.
