Well, as we used to say in grade school...The Bear Pit, where the last of your feelings and self-esteem go to die.
I'd like to say that it keeps me honest and it does, mostly. But it also reminds me of the crew I used to work with in the field. If you didn't say something, we would make one up for you. Including rumors that were, well, okay...
Jason was a guy who had been to prison. He served his full sentence for identity fraud (stealing and cashing checks to buy drugs.) He really did turn his life around and studied electrical trade. But that wasn't good enough.
Curtis started the rumor that he lost a testicle in prison and his nickname was Uno.
That lasted for a day with Jason being mystified at people calling him Uno. We finally let him in on it and he laughed.
And got us back. He would fart in a bucket and bring it covered to you. He did that one day.
Next day was my turn and payback is a bitch. We were working over the weekend doing a remodel for computer power in a building that held the ag shop on one side and the computer lab on the other side at a middle school. I had the whole ag shop smelling like my bowel for about 3 hours.
It was the stuff of legend. My friend John, a long-time deer hunter and used to cleaning and processing does from the crack of his muzzleloader to packaged chili grind that he did himself, was choking and tearing up.
So, this place feels like home.
