Seeing as how we find ourselves on the cusp of rebirth I have something that I'd like to share. It's been so long since my first day in Ur- my memory of that time is long since gone. Yeah, that rivers run dry. I wish I could though.
I think about it often. I don't believe that I was met by a greeter. If I was, I didn't recognize it for what it was. An opportunity to get to know someone who had been down the road and could steer me in the right direction. Someone who I could have became friends with- relied on when I had questions. I wonder if I blew it? Maybe someone did try to help me out and I told them to sod off thinking they were a bot. I hope that's not the case. If I did, I apologize. I'm not that same guy anymore. I grow a little more each day. I become a little more refined. I'm certainly not a finished product by any means.
I'd like to cling to the hope that if I did indeed blow you off and offend you, that you overlooked the incident and we became friends down the line in spite of our shaky start. I know what a tough gig it is, and you do it out of love.
Thank all of you Greeters, past and present, for all that you do.
