The Day's Drabble and Other Crazy Crap
Okay, I am going to try my hardest to write something today that is not depressing. Promise :)
The word is a funny-sounding one, so that helps.

He lost something much more valuable than that: two people who could have been best friends that could have helped him get through the mess he is undoubtedly in now!
Yes, that is part of the reason that I feel so bad for him now. It used to be, when we all worked together and used to be friends, that the staff was more like an extended family. We used to get together every Saturday night, after the store closed, and either go out to dinner, go bowling, go ice skating, or go over my parents' house, who kindly let us use their pool, and it was nothing to have 15 or 16 people go on a single night. People would come back to work just to go out. And Gary was right in the thick of things, of course.
(Jen, incidentally, was the one who would want to exclude people, usually because they weren't "cool" enough or irked her for some unknown reason. I--not surprisingly--was the one who made Saturday nights contingent on the fact that *all* staff members be invited. Which probably pissed her off all the more.)
But because of his actions in the last two years, no one cares about anyone beyond themselves anymore, least of all, Gary, who is irresponsible and ignorant on his best days.
It is a shame to see the store that I once loved become what it has become today. And a shame also to have lost such a good friend.
But he has lost *a lot* more than I have.
