Get Well Soon, Andrew!

-


Before the Bruins started the season, KP and I were discussing the team and the departure of our dearly beloved Andrew Ference.  Sadly, there just wasn't enough $$ to go around, not to mention a ton of young defenseman, and Ference packed up and headed northwest to Edmonton in the off season.  Ference was a solid defenseman for the Bruins but way more than that, he was an awesome Bostonian and leader on the B's.  Almost daily, you'd see something somewhere about a visit to a hospital or soup kitchen, it seemed.  He also was behind the infamous Army Ranger jacket in the 2013 playoff run (which he left in the deserving hands of Matt Brown).  

Anyway, I love few things more than a great montage.  One of them is "Oh Canada!".  So, I told KP I have to see Andrew come back and cheer and cry and sing "Oh Canada!" and because she's a great friend she's taking me to the game to welcome back Andrew.  That is, if he's able to play.  He suffered a head injury last Friday and hasn't played since, so I'm really hoping he gets well by Saturday!

So I'm on the phone at about 3:15 doing an exit interview with yet another disgruntled employee who is leaving. I always shut the door to my office when I'm on calls like this because, frankly, I work with retards who will stand in front of me the entire time I'm on the phone to wait for me to finish. I'm so glad that working in HR, my workspace is private and people respect the confidentiality of my role. Awesome! As I said, I'm on the phone, and my door is shut. One co-worker barges in and tried to get my attention. I point to the phone and mouth "come back later". A second one does the same thing, followed by a third, fourth, fifth, and finally sixth. Through my window that looks into the hallway in my office, I see that a small group has gathered. Finally, Julia (the girl I share an office with) goes out into the hallway to see what's going on. Five seconds later, she walks back into the office, shuts the door, glances at me, and sits down...

Not much going on, too early for March Madness, NESN doesn't put enough Spring Training on TV, so instead, I'm going to post something that I randomly came across today and thoroughly enjoyed. (promise I'll have a good post Monday morning!) A Nation's destination: Destiny By Bill Simmons Page 2 I woke up thinking about the Red Sox. Answered e-mails, read the paper, showered, shaved, never stopped thinking about the Red Sox. Found that I was so excited, I could barely keep a thought in my head. Skipped through the day's routine doing ordinary things, thinking the entire time, "Holy crap, my life could be completely different in eight hours." Now it's time to join the ranks of the normal baseball fans. Thank God. Is this how parents feel when they're about to have a baby? Like nothing has changed, but everything's about to change? That's how I felt yesterday. The Red Sox were about to win the World Series. And I was about to become Just Anoth...
