3x360 A.
(Note: I swear they aren't all going to be this depressing. I have some amazing people in my life. But one thing I'm learning about this process is you can't predict the order of memories)
3x360 A.I don’t even remember your last name. But just now I came across a picture of you (Facebook has a way of ambushing a person) and it instantly transported me to a turning point in my life.
You were so interesting and I looked forward to getting to know you better as a co-worker. Then things in the office got very tense, politically. Management vs. staff. Lines were drawn. I could see both sides so I tried hard to remain neutral.
Then I found out you were having a party and I can’t remember your explanation, but it was clear I was seen as standing on the wrong side of the line. In that small office, I was among the very few not invited. The fallout was one of the most socially awkward and isolating experiences of my adult life. I did start hanging out with management more because frankly, they were nicer.
