I'm Back!

Yes, I have been gone for over a month but even this low level bottom b*tch gets to take a break every once in a while. Anyway! What going on out there? Write to me?

As for me, I want to talk about...co-workers.

I was recently reflecting on good ones.

I was recently thinking about my best friend who we will call Jane. I worked for/with her mother , we will call her Windy. They will hate me for giving them these names.

When Jane and I met we HATED each other each one calling thing the other was a straight up B-I -T-Hey you know what I mean. Then one day her Jane's mom, Windy, arranged for us to go to a local art event. I was surprised because her mother use to threaten to drop kick me out the highest window when ever I f-c--d up. That being the first adult job I ever had I was dropped from the 7 story window alot. Somehow though we forged a friendship and we have been friends for too long for me to say because OB NEVER mentions time, events or her age. Windy became like my mother and Jane my sister. Who knew that a person that I would meet in cold wintry November would be come such a welcome and wonderful part of my life.

Then years later while I was making a major life transition, I started working with my friend Charlotte (again not her real name). She would send kind notes of encouragement reminding me not to give up and always to ask (pray) & work for my dreams or something better. In other words, she taught me to strive for my dreams but never to limit myself to my dreams because something better just might be around the corner. When life got rough because I took on too much she offered sage advice and went to bat for me behind the scenes until I could stand on my own. We are needless to say still friends today.

There is at least one person from every job I have held since early adulthood who has influenced and remained a part of my life. These people have stuck with me through the crazy and crazier. When the man was making me take it, though they couldn't prevent the violation the at least lent me lube (life lessons) that I think over time have paid off I think. And so today I would just like to take the time to say thank you!

Love,
OB
