At 3:00 today we locked the doors at work and took a road trip to Lexington (about 45 minutes from Greensboro). The reason was to watch Middle School football. There are 4 of us in our office and each one of my co-workers are like family because I spend so much time with them.
There is Lisa (the boss lady) who is wonderful to work for. She expects no less than your best, rewards us for great deeds and hard work. She is also direct and quick to point out mistakes. I always know where I stand with her and I love her for it. It feels good to get up each morning and look forward to my work day.
Lisa's son, Warren, is # 72
Barry is the Sales and Operations Manager, he's a single father of 2 daughters, 17 and 15. He works hard and gives all of himself to the business and his girls. I admire him for his sacrifice and sometimes wish I had as much drive as he does.
John is the new guy in the office. He's also a Sales/Operations Manager and has been there a couple of months but he's catching on very quickly. He is a perfect fit for our office family.
All 4 of us (and my Husband) headed to Lexington to watch Warren play football. Now...having girls, I have not been to a Middle School football game since I was enrolled in Walter J. Baird myself. I was SHOCKED at the size of these kids and they played football like High Schoolers.
Warren, #72
Unfortunately they lost 22-14 but win or lose doesn't matter because these kids are learning a valuable lesson for life. They are working together to accomplish the same goal....score 8 points!! (Yes I said 8 points because they get 6 for a touch down and 2 for extra points) They are training for their future.
I never looked at it this way but it's exactly what Lisa, Barry, John, and I do every day. We work together to get the job done!
