The most
successful people are the ones who are not only talented in their field but
most importantly, the ones who care about what they do. The ones who are
passionate; even if they don’t take it home with them, they are excited to
start their day because they get to go back.
I think
everyone needs one thing in their life that they geek out about. It’s so
fascinating when people suddenly go off on tangents about something they’re
really knowledgeable in and want to share that with you.
Now I’m not
talking about gatekeeper culture or man-splaning (which are concepts all of my
children have taught to me at one time or another) but loving something so much
and trusting someone else enough to share that love.
Of course,
for my geek-ed out passion, the people I can share it with are anonymous readers
on the internet, my husband, and my husband’s daughter that I’ve taken under my
wing. Which means that when coworkers ask you what you do on the weekends, you
lie through your teeth and say something stupid like “my husband and I are in a
bowling league”.
Long story
short, James and I joined a bowling league with Carl from sales and his wife
who has the squeakiest laugh I’ve ever heard. I’ve never bowled a day in my
life.
Next time,
I need to say something that is less of a group activity. Because now, my
Saturday’s are taken up by driving down south to a mid-morning bowling league
and occasionally grabbing a drink with the “gang” afterwards.
I love what
I do but Jesus Christ, it might not be worth it.
So anyways,
I stabbed someone who looked a lot like Carl and threw him into a ravine
because Carl doesn’t deserve a burial. The fact that it wasn’t Carl took away a
lot of satisfaction from me but that passion needs to go somewhere.
I guess we’re
bowlers now. Whatever that means. And Carl’s still alive so things aren’t the
best right now.
At least I
didn’t say “golfing”.
As always,
dear readers,
Stay Safe
