I don’t have any friends. Did I ever have friends? Hell yeah! Countless. But by now, I lost every single one of them. My longest lasting group of friends lasted 4-5 years and they’re from church. Friends either outright walked out on me or they slowly drifted away. Either way, it’s always because issues at work preclude me from putting in the effort to maintain any friendships outside of work.

I lived in this town since 2007. Guaranteed none of the friends I made back then are still my friends now.

As for that GM, he may have been a tad too familiar with me when he called me those terms. But then again, he had called half of us similar terms occasionally. Because he’s a nice person. Lots of people mentioned how nice and good he is so it’s not like I was off base for feeling that he’s nice and friendly. Or more accurately, WAS nice and kind.

None of my coworkers agreed that he changed as a person though.
