    427 This is…well, was - my office wife.  We used to call each other our office spouses when we worked for a big consulting company.  She and I had the immigrant-working-in-this-strange-place-called-America thing in common.  She’s from Turkey, and her name is pronounced Sheb-Nem.  Clients used to get it wrong all the time, and it was a running joke to hear who would screw it up worse.  I, and others in the office, called her by many of the mistakes; my favorite was “Sheb-Nob”.  Seb and I have shared some ups and downs as a result of working together - everything from weddings (mine) to funerals (a young man who worked with us who slipped into a diabetic coma and never woke up) and everything in between.  She’s a dear friend, and I love her dearly.  When we had our pregnancy scare, Seb gave us a Turkish “evil eye” object made to ward off bad spirits.  Things have been great ever since - so it’s never leaving the house.  She gave birth to her son 3 days after this was shot.
