goodbye Edge
February 11th, 2007 by smidge
No Pornface this week, no Dear Lee Chin, no obscure trivia, or arcane philosophy, no nothing. I’m not in the mood. Something terrible has happened.
My hauling partner and friend The Edge has been fired.
I can’t go into details about why he was fired, but let’s just say he and Bossman just never saw eye to eye on some things. For this and other reasons, hauling had lost some of its charm for the Edge during the past few months. My hope was that this blog would help get him excited about things again and influence him to stay. Now none of that matters.
And I don’t feel like posting anything more.
Goodbye Edge. You were an expert hauler and overall sportsman, crossword master, prankster, blog author, and co-creator of essential things like “Theme of the Day” and “Glove Golf”. And you listened to me ramble in the trucks all day long. You are truly an irreplaceable partner, and you’ll be greatly missed.
no. no way. no freaking way. how is this possible?
edge, i don’t know you, but i can see the devastating effects of your departure. seriously, it’s SAD.
you should continue to post a “theme of the day” to this blog, and i hope you are still able to call smidge while he’s driving around so he has someone to ramble to.
You’ve had four days to cry. Now, suck it up and get on with it….
And, remember, the Edge would have wanted you to keep going.
a junk god has fallen . he will be missed dearly.
edge, I have to know why you didn’t chose the name “The Reaper?” It seems that on a specific job we decided that if we ever got hauler names one of us would take up that one.
Someone should accidentally dump a load of junk on the boss’s lawn. Oops…
