" When I got into work today, I had an email from Nate. Well, we all did. To: Tex, K., Dave, Molly From: Nate Subject: Rina Hi all, Just wanted to give you a heads up that Rina&amp;#039;s father passed away over the weekend, after a sudden heart attack. She&amp;#039;ll be out for the entire week, at least, so we&amp;#039;ll have to manage without her. I think it goes without saying that she&amp;#039;s going to try to work from her mother&amp;#039;s house, and we should all make a concerted effort to not let her do that, and let her know that we can manage without her. In our morning meetings today, please be ready to give a rundown on everything you&amp;#039;re currently working on so we can make sure we&amp;#039;re all on the same page. Thanks, Nate Poor Rina. She&amp;#039;s really young \u2013 I wonder how old her dad was. He could have been only in his mid-40s. About 15 minutes before our meeting, Molly got an IM from Rina. &amp;quot;Hey K.? Rina wants to know if she can call in for the meeting.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;No. Tell her not to worry about work.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;She thinks we should get a temp to cover her.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Molly, tell her we&amp;#039;ve got it covered.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;She said &amp;#039;No you don&amp;#039;t&amp;#039; with three exclamation points. She said we&amp;#039;re going to be a mess without someone here to keep us organized.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Tell her we&amp;#039;re fine.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;She wants to know who&amp;#039;s going to update Twitter and Facebook.&amp;quot; I got up from my desk, and walked over to Molly&amp;#039;s. I motioned for her to get up, and sat in her seat. Mollyoxenfree: Rina? This is K. Please, focus on your family and don&amp;#039;t worry about us. We can manage. Rwillette: Let me call into the meeting. If I feel like everything is under control, I&amp;#039;ll leave you guys alone. Mollyoxenfree: Rina\u2026 Rwillette: Come on, K. Please? I need the distraction. How could I say no to that? I&amp;#039;m not made of stone. We headed into the meeting room, and dialed Rina in on speakerphone. When Nate walked in, he looked at the phone, puzzled. &amp;quot;Rina&amp;#039;s on the line,&amp;quot; I explained.&amp;quot; Nate shot me a look, and I put my hands up hopelessly. Rina led the meeting over the phone, and after realizing that Nate wasn&amp;#039;t going to hire a temp, assigned us all jobs to do in her absence. The best part? She put Tex in charge of Twitter. &amp;quot;Rina, I don&amp;#039;t even know how Twitter works,&amp;quot; Tex drawled. &amp;quot;Learn,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re living in the digital age.&amp;quot; Nate couldn&amp;#039;t stop himself from cracking up, and the rest of us followed. Then Rina decided that, when she got back, she was going to give us all social media training.  I don&amp;#039;t know how she managed it, but she really got us on track for covering her while she was gone. We had no plan, and she gave us one. I know Nate said to make sure she knew we could manage without her, but I&amp;#039;m honestly not so sure that we can. I do hope she&amp;#039;s giving herself some time to grieve, but if I know her, she&amp;#039;s probably making all of the funeral arrangements, calling caterers for the post-funeral luncheon, and meeting with the lawyer to figure out how to handle his assets. That girl&amp;#039;s either going to be completely burned out by the time she&amp;#039;s 25, or more powerful than Oprah. Posted at 6:38 PM "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
