Annual Lunch & Softball

We did it again!

Steak & Softball.

For the people who make this place go 'round.

I am so grateful, again, for my people!

Did I mention I have a new boss?

It's literally been life-changing.

P told me from day one that Gage would eventually be my boss... that when P was done working for the city (or died in a plane crash), Gage would be P.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Unfortunately, V was hired as our boss and was over our division for seven years.

It's been a very, very hard seven years.

I went to work daily in actual fear.

My stress level was never at baseline.

I cried most days.

I just kept going.

I often felt P close by, telling me to just keep going... that everything would be okay.

Sweet Burke would try to comfort me and validate me and just support me.

It's been an actual nightmare.

Finally, and mercifully, he retired.

And Gage got the job.

From day one, my fear went away.

The tears have ceased.

I am validated WAY more than I should be at this point.

I feel P close, rooting on his Gager.

Everything has changed for us, in the best possible way.

I am so grateful.
