THE DIVORCE
Well, I did a really dumb thing today. I'm not supposed to be all emotional, but I had to go to the station today and drop off some paperwork. I didn't want to go past the security door, and I almost hoped no one else would be in the lobby. Sure enough, one of my former co-workers at another station in the cluster was there in the lobby...one of the best guys in the business as far as I'm concerned.
I couldn't say anything other than just nod. After I dropped off the paper, I gave the receptionist a hug and I left with the other guy. We talked for a bit outside the building, but I honestly couldn't say much...I was a little shocked I was so emotional. I mean, here's a guy I'm talking to and my hands are shaking and there's a tremble in my radio-trained voice. I did all I could do to stop any water from coming out my eyes. Not much was said...we talked about corporate radio and some other stuff. He's actually thinking of getting out of the business...something that I can't bring myself to do at this point. He's hugely talented and well-loved in the community...so it would be a real loss. I was honored that some of his feelings he shared with me are due to recent events.
The dumb thing? I dropped off the wrong paper...and now I have to go back.
So far, no call backs: It's the time of the year for vacations, though. That's what I'm hanging on to...
