Your first day on the Job!
You hardly slept last night in anticipation of today. Up too early, shaved too close & fussed too much with your attire. Time to go. The 20 minute drive filled with the " What If's " & the " If Only's. "
You check the mirror one more time, exit your car filled with anticipation and apprehension of what's to come.
As you take your first steps into the Building filled with unknown faces your heart sags a little...Then from out of nowhere " Hey Tom! " a familiar voice, you turn and there is Gary one of the guys you played Summer Ball with, coming towards you.
Relief, massive Relief!
Soon Gary has introduced you to several fellow Employees and two more people you knew from the past. Suddenly things are Just Great. The apprehension is gone & you brighten, looking forward to the day.
The week passes, it's Saturday & you head to your Local for a couple of Brews. You swing open the Door and are Greeted with Familiar Faces & the easy exchange of Friends. Your Home. Time to relax, kick back and have some Fun.
The weeks been a Bitch with all the pressures a new job brings and the struggling to remember an untold number of New Names and Titles. No such thing here. It's all familiar ground.
Damn i Miss the Old Faces and Names that once filled these pages.
Not long ago you clicked on SG and their They where.
A quick sweep of the posts brought about an easement of the tensions of the day, as you saw So and So's Dad was Okay! and Hey Tim got that Job... Terrific. A New Member and someone solved John's problem for him. Great!
Friends helping Friends. People concerned about each other and the Wickedly Evil poking of Fun at one another that made you Smile.
Time to Relax, You where Home.
I for one miss coming Home to Familiar Names that leapt to mind with Personalities attached.
Personalities I've formed in my mind over time spent with these persons, my Friends. A No Brainer as they say. You simply jumped in and joined the Fun. Nothing to think about really, It's Bill, so I'll pull his chain on the Sabres losing last night, or whatever.
Sadly this is missing now imho, as i struggle to recall who this New Name with the high post count used to be. Sometimes their Sig. mentions their past Handle, sometimes not. Either way you have to kick the Grey Cells into action to bring about the desired info to respond to the post and the person in question.
Hey! this is work, is this what i came here for? My mind, like my Shorts has lost some of the Elasticity needed to relearn new input.
Maybe it's just Me getting too old, but i sure do miss Them Old Days and Familiar Faces, when you didn't have to think. You just came for the Fun. You where Home!
What do You Think?
