One door closes...
K's Merchandise is closing its doors.
After 21 years, I will be looking for another job. Like the line in a Tim McGraw song..."the ending of an era, the turning of a page." I will leave behind more good memories than bad, more close friends than mere acquaintances.
For years, these coworkers have been my sounding board, my barometer on world affairs. My feelings on most issues were formed and molded every day on breaks at 10 and 3. We need to get web cams and meet everyday at 10 just to keep in touch.
Because that's what I fear. Losing touch. We'll start by having lunch every week. Then every two weeks. Then monthly. Then we'll remember each other with Christmas cards every year. Eventually even those will cease.
Although our intentions will be good, we will find new jobs and forget K's. We will have new coworkers, new friends. But none will be as close or dear to my heart as these amazing people in K's Ad Crew.
It truly is the ending of an era...
