Well, Hello There!

you know those moments in movies where two friends are sitting in a restaurant on their lunch break and in walks random friend from high school and surprises them out of the blue?

well, that happened to me today.

a guy i haven't seen in years suddenly appeared at our table. i was stuck in that awkward position of wondering whether to get up and hug him or not - i went with the hug - followed by the 30 second brief on the past 10 years of our lives. just when it got really uncomfortable he announced that he was late and should be getting back to work. we exchanged business cards and made a poor attempt at promising to grab lunch one of these days and he was off.

while not an altogether pleasant experience it was a nice reminder of the fact that i'm officially that 30-something character in movies. believe it or not, sometimes i actually forget and try really hard to relate to the 25-year-old recent graduate instead.
