The city where I live is host to a minor league baseball team.
The team plays games during the spring and summer months. My friends and I have had season tickets to the games for multiple years. I absolutely love going to the game, especially on the nights when the beers are cheap. A couple of weeks ago, I got done with all of the HVAC work early and I went to a 3 game with my friends. I was surprised that I didn’t have any other HVAC repair jobs on the schedule that day and even more surprised that my boss was going home early. The guy hardly ever left the repair shop before all of the repair technicians. When my friends and I went to the game, I ran into my boss. The stadium is huge, but there are only a couple of tickets stands in the front. There are also only a few stands that sell concessions like beer, soda, popcorn, and peanuts. My friends and I were waiting in line at the concession stand when I thought I heard the sound of my boss’s voice. I turned around quickly and noticed the guy in line behind me about five people back. There was a young woman draped all over my boss and I knew the woman was not his wife. I tried to make myself completely unrecognizable. I did not want my boss to know that I saw him there. One of my friends yelled out my name so I could help him get the hot dogs and my boss looked right at me. The two of us had a 5-minute stare down. I’m sure it wasn’t actually five minutes, but it felt like it.
