仕事仲間

Unlike in Hong Kong which on average, you will bump into someone you know a few times a week, here in US, it's rather rare that you actually run into someone you know from long time ago.

Last night after taking a shower and watching some TV, I suddenly decided to go to Whole Foods to get some buttery croissants, fruity popsicles and fruits. It's already around 9:30pm and I figured what are the chances that I will run into someone, so I went out wearing my husband's baggy sweatpants and my Seattle Mariners sweatshirt from 10 years ago with the new onsen socks and flip flop. I swear I have never dressed so hilarious ever before going out anywhere, believe me.

After getting most of what I needed at Whole Foods and ready to walk towards the cashier, I noticed someone near the fruit section was "frozen" and smiling and staring at me. I looked and looked and there, my good old buddy from Apple!! He was with his wife and she was staring at him as if she was saying "Are you ok?" I had a big grin and I called his name with exclaimations!!!! It has been over 10 years since we saw each other or bumped into each other. I ran into him once but had completely forgot where. Anyway, he still looks the same and he has been with Symantec for the past 8 years. We used to do "Good Morning" hugs at Apple but it just seems weird now outside of Apple and after so many years. They also came out to Whole Foods wearing their home clothes :D so we were totally comfortable seeing each other. Haha. Anyway, it's always good to see old friends and we quickly exchanged work email address. I wonder if I should email him... but I think I should keep in touch.
