Back to yesterday, I remember being back at that amazing Ope, this time overrun by only those aspects of it that I don't remember fondly. This place that I explain to Winters folk as my Winters-before-Winters is now revisited in its most bureaucratic form. A large meeting of Staff and Administration and Desk People, in a building like the new Accolades. I wonder why I've come back this summer. Kiera and Tyler and Roy and Sean and Lisa and Rob and everyone, every single amazing person I'd worked with weren't there. Why was I?
The senior people present ended up speaking in no uncertain terms about god, or God as they envision it. Some younger staff member in the audience rose up in opposition, kind of showing off, though, and then the whole thing just went to hell.
I ended up, completely frustrated at another ruined thing, at home. But then Ben from Winters, and Warren from Ope, who have never met, are visiting for a while and sleeping over at my house, and amazingly enough, getting along great with my parents.
