May. 4th, 2025 10:40 pmCalling it: today's the first day it's gotten sticky. The last couple of days were verging on it, and the downpour last night and the temperatures today pushed it over. Summer's not quite here yet, but spring's already on its way out.
That doesn't make it a bad day, though. In a case of combined coincidence and timing, an old boss of mine recognized me in line at the greenmarket. An old boss I haven't worked for in over ten years. I did the usual hello and good to see you and bought my milk, then turned around and went to stand next to her as she waited and caught up, which was lovely to do. What made the moment lovelier was the woman standing next to her expressed interest in my skill set and asked for a phone number, and when I offered a land line as well, she was even more impressed that I had one of those.
I don't think anything will come of this, even if I email my old boss tomorrow. Even so. It's nice to know I'm remembered.
