That is what life is all about. Relationships.
Since I have been doing this uber gig, it has never been more true. I relieves texts and calls, hey! Will you be my uber? Heck ya
So I received one such message last week. A former coworker and a person that I considered a friend needed a ride. Her first day of work!! I was commissioned to get her there safely. Absolutely new to uber. Walked her through the app. In my car. Boom ready to go.
We reminisced about good times that we had. We laughed until we were almost crying.
When we worked together, we sat next to eachother. One of the things that we did too much of, trolling. We trolled a lot of people and blind copied eachother. When one of us posted to a blog or sent an email, we would slap the desk. That was the signal that you needed to check something out. I am quite sure we drove other coworkers insane. It was some of the greatest fun I ever had. Our number one target was Allen Patterson. We would hit his blog so hard. We got kicked off. So then I started an allen patterson parody blog. That blog was up a full 6 months before Allen discovered it's existence. He called me. And he called me some of the most vile names a man could call a woman.....you Methodist grandma whore. Stuff like that. The entire time he is unloading his pattersonisque lashing at me, I laughed and laughed and laughed. I won that war.
Check out his blog. He is probably checking his stats from a erethreal Starbucks pounding double espressos. He will enjoy the jump in clicks:

Sorry, I regress.
We get to her new job. I did not start the ride in uber. Luckily, uber can fix that. We laughed some more. I tell her she looks pretty. Have a great first day. Hug her neck. I leave.
I get to Starbucks on everman. I get a text. I am supposed to start work tomorrow, not today. I double the order. Two blonde coffees with cream. We shared coffee in the car.
I know this post is a bit jumbled. I guess what I am trying to get at is this, fertilize your relationships every once in awhile. Sprinkle some water on them. Because even if months or years go by, reaping the rewards is priceless.
