Freaking office. Kills me.

Some Things

It was intentionally vague. I worked at a country club, now I don't. Despite the fact that I claim to be tech-savvy (and my new job is as a laptop repair apprentice), I'm a little behind in the blog scene. I don't perceive this as a bad thing, by any means, but it is something I intend to work on. I maintain a blog, obviously, but I will never be a blogger. The fact that I just used an html tag to italicize that is irrelevant.

Here are some things it may help to know if you want special insider information when reading this blog. I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, ever, and I feel that my gift is expressing that very notion in words. If that sentence made sense to you, then by all means read on, this blog is for you, friend. For those of you for whom I have just confirmed initial suspicions of lunacy, you are free to return to your lives in the real world. Stop back and visit some time when you need a little break.

The vast majority of what I create in this dark space will be fictional. In some cases, it will be loosely or closely based on things that have happened, could have happened, or may at some point happen to me or anyone, but it is likely I will still present these things as fiction. In the extremely unlikely event that something appears in this space that you feel misrepresents you or in some way offends you, please to contact me as soon as possible and I will tell you why it is that way, and I will probably not change anything about it.

Often, I feel that the existing nomeclature of written text may not easily apply to what I present here. In these more flexible times, the categorization may offer itself somewhat more readily, but you can be certain that (my anticipated) lack of any consistency or creative direction will render that moot. At the very least, I will try to convince some of my players to make recurring appearances in various places and times, but it will suit you not to get attached. I don't kill characters, I forget them, which is far worse.

I will, this one time, address the title. I have no idea where it came from, no idea what it means, and no idea what to do with it. A google search of "The Feel-Good Kid" will yield strange and varying results, but the majority of them have something to do with children, and nutritional information. You can expect to read very little about either of those on this page henceforward.

I have a comma problem, it is being addressed. I have a meeting with a semicolon in the morning, but I'm worried I might say something to offend it.

The Kid Is In

Yesterday, I went to visit some friends at my old job. I regret--more than I ever would have thought--leaving the place, but what's done is done, and I don't believe there are any hard feelings on either end. In specific, I wanted to see one particular friend of mine whom, for a variety of reasons, I have done a poor job of keeping in touch with. Granted, I've only been gone from the place for two months, but the terms of my exit were and are unknown to many, myself included, and so there were some things that I would have liked to give more satisfactory closure to, but either couldn't or wouldn't.

This friend, Mark, we'll call him, played a major part in giving me the confidence I needed to acclimate myself to and eventually thrive in a work atmosphere in which I might otherwise have struggled. In particular, we struck up a kinship, early on, and I'm ashamed to say I forget how it originally came up, but it led to what are undoubtedly some of my fondest at-work memories. Our shared joy and misery in the victories (few) and defeats (many) of the always-entertaining Cincinnati Reds was often one of the things I most looked forward to in the early part of my day.

One of the many great things about baseball is its near-interminable playing schedule. The regular season lasts from the beginning of April until usually the first week in October, then the playoffs go for another couple weeks. Then there's winter ball, and off-shore leagues, and training camps, and next thing you know, it's February and pitchers and catchers are reporting to spring training facilities in Arizona and Florida. And now there's the World Baseball Classic, and some international exhibition games and who knows what else. Somewhere in all this, talk of baseball commenced, and we never looked back.

(To this day, on a brief side note, I can not for the life of me figure out how this all started. I was hired at the beginning October, officially, but didn't start working until almost November, so discussion of the World Series seems unlikely. Also, we were extremely busy for the holiday season, and I was still trying to learn everything about the job, so I was probably a little preoccupied. Yet, somewhere between my first day, and the end of January--the first two weeks of which we were closed, I might add--Mark and I were very much excited to count down the days until pitchers and catchers were to report. This is the power of baseball.)

Enough with the cheese and the Ken Burns for now, though, back to the story. I showed up unannounced this past Wednesday afternoon, assuming it would be no problem, and also assuming that the usual people would be going about their business. Joe would be at his desk (that's any day, at any time, really, which was always fine with me), Jim would be telling people how to cook (to his credit, that was pretty much his job when I first started), and Mark would be going through his usual pre-op routine. I has underestimated the repercussions of the recession, though, for hours had been scaled back drastically, and I learned that it would be hours before Mark arrived. At first, I decided to just leave and come back (all of five minutes, round-trip), but on further meditation opted to wait around. I spoke with the receptionist, briefly, about whom I have drastically divergent feelings from day to day--something for another time--but this was a good day for both of us.

In fact, I have her to thank for what ultimately transpired that afternoon. Something that came up frequently between she and I was the idea of small, unsolicited gifts of little or no significance. Things like pens, or scrap paper from the cutter, or dirty dishes (which were almost always for me). Wednesday, she was kind enough, being a special occasion and all, to give me a bag, a post-it note, and a permanent marker. She did ask for the permanent marker back, however, so naturally, I offered her a variety of other, self-important sounding things, one of which happened to be the shirt off my back. She responded, as is her way, with a snarky comment about how utterly useless a Cincinnati Reds jersey is to her, especially coming from someone like me. Our bust sizes are not similar, you see. She was giggling, and I was thinking. I proceeded to unbutton my jersey, folded it neatly, and placed it in the bag. I scribbled a note on the post-it, stuck it to the side of the bag, left it at Mark's station, and went home.

I didn't see Mark that day, but I know I will soon. Sorry about all the commas.
