Fired (not me)

My coworker from my department got fired today. I kind of saw it coming...and I feel that part of it she was really responsible for. Oh well. The weird thing is, now I'm responsible for some of her tasks. Like I'm not busy enough? Hopefully this will be more of a chance for me to shine and grow, as frustrated as it makes me. I also have to get rid of some of my tasks and hand them off to someone who is transitioning into our department. So that's good, I'll get some help. This is kinda rambling, but I just don't know what to say right now. LOL
