Your friend always said “I’ll rest when I’m dead,” so much that it became his catchphrase. He says it again today when he came into work, going about his daily routine. This normally wouldn’t be concerning, if not for the fact that you attended his funeral two weeks ago.

You look up from your desk at the entrance of the building as Dave walks in through the automatic double doors of the warehouse. "'Mornin'!" he shouts cheerily at you, his customary smile and wave looking the same as it always has, even if the bags under his eyes are a bit darker than your remember. "Good Morning," you respond, an automatic reply built into your system after so many HR trainings, 'always greet Associates with a smile and enthusiasm!'. "How are you doing today, Dave?" It sounds robotic, even to you, but Dave doesn't seem to take notice. "Oh pretty good, still dealin' with those pesky chest pains though." he responds beat for beat to your previous conversation. "You should probably take a break," you tell him, "you work far too hard." You aren't supposed to say the second part, but you're part of the Safety Team and not HR so you say as you please. "Psh-aw, I'll rest when I'm dead." Dave chuckles, "Anyways, I'm manning the lift again, I'll see ya later!" and off he goes, with a spring in his step as he always does.

His old saying is a bit ironic now given he's been dead for two weeks at least.
