Remember back when I was acting a fool over a tall scrawny dork who wore elastic dress shoes???
Thank god that’s over, eh? The Green Giant doesn’t lend himself well to being the most memorable sort of character. To be honest with you, I did look for his car in the parking lot for a month or two after I called it quits, but I had completely forgotten about him until I got wind of some curious news.
It’s not NEWS news, like if say…if I knew it for a fact or something, but it’s interesting.
Wayyy back before time was invented and I was still pining after the Green Giant, he complained about how the business program that our companies are in sucks. He told me they were quitting the program and moving their office a few miles away in November due to it’s suckage. This was back in April so I was like ehhhh I’ve got MONTHS between now and then to seal the deal…then LT came barging in and shit. You know how that turned out.
Anyway.
So I used to run into GG all the time. All the time, all the time. Like running up and down the stairs for snacks, running out to get lunch, on the way in to work, on the way out of work, etc. Then sometime shortly after LT’s proposal fiasco mess of a thing that happened, the Green Giant vanished. His car was still in the parking lot, but I NEVER saw him. Not even one time from then until now. Super sketchy?
There was this one morning I kinda saw him on the way to work. We both happened to get off the highway at the same time, so we were waiting at the light to turn into work, and I was right behind him. I followed him all the way to the parking lot. He parked waaay back in the corner, jumped out of his car, and was halfway to the building before I even got out of my car… WEIRDOOO
I’ve seen some of his employees around the building since I stopped running into him and have been mildly friendly. A week or so I noticed one of his employees had a “packing the office” away message up. I guess they are gone now. A “Hey guys, we’re leaving.” message would have been nice, but either way we finally have enough space in our parking lot again.
