Weirdness at Work

tigiraIt's strange when you move to a new city, and work for a huge international corporation, and just do your job...
Then, out of nowhere, someone who worked with your father when you were a kid shows up for depositions in your office. You know this person and his family, you know the issues with their children...and they have watched you grow up from an 11 year old that would rather jump in a canal to catch a football rather than let the pass be incomplete to an adult who would rather do the same thing...except I think now I'd think to look for aligators first.
When Wausau Insurance Co bought my fathers' employer in Miami, they kept two people from this office - my dad and this man. They moved both of our families to Wausau, WI. We lived around the corner from each other in Wausau. He knew when I started working for Wausau Insurance, and when Liberty bought us, he went with the old parent company, Nationwide, just like my dad.
He came back to Liberty. And he is here in our office today. Let me tell you, it is strange to see him in this context. Very strange indeed.
