I do okay around other people. But left by myself for a while, my mind wanders into sad city.
That’s why I need people in my life. Good ones. Who get me.
That Evan will likely be around part of my shift helps a little. I know I probably won’t see him much, but at least he’ll be there. Someone I know.
I mean, I like David okay enough, he seems nice, but I don’t really know him at all. And even if I did, I doubt he’s anywhere as similar as Evan and me.
Just to be be clear, Evan and I are not that strikingly similar, either. Just on certain planes. He is all kinds of traveled and refined and, while I am perhaps verbally gifted, he is just plain all around brilliant.
And I was a teacher. I know brilliance when I see it.
Also I think he is bilingual.
Anyway, I hope they don’t go after his job because then it really will be just me. They shouldn’t. He’s not on first shift.
Also, I think they know what they have.
