When I was a freshman in college, I had a job stocking shelves at a nearby grocery store. As the new guy, the manager often ordered me to clean the restrooms. It was possibly the worst task one could be assigned in a public building. But I learned something over several nights slinging a mop. If you do something well, it is likely that you’ll be asked to do it again. If you do something poorly, it is possible you’ll be asked to do it again in order to get better. But if you do something absolutely terrible — so bad that someone else is forced to come in behind you to do it right — odds are you’ll never be asked to repeat the task.
Freepass told be I’d be cleaning toilets Qing Recover this week. Here is how it went down:
1. Show up 5 minutes early to an empty parking lot. Cross fingers that no one else shows and I can spend the morning hacking portals. #ingresh
2. Silver Bullet pulls in behind me and begins hacking portals as I set up the laptop.
3. Droves of pax (and by droves I mean 5 more) pull in last minute. Apparently they didn’t realize I’d be leading today.
4. Sean Vigue leads us in a stretching workout. There were some recognizable forms and some new moves. We learned how to do some of the old moves correctly and we learned there are some moves we may never be able to do.
5. The #mumblechatter died down once it was apparent it was not having any effect on our virtual leader as he stretched it out on a Colorado mountain while wearing a beanie.
6. I took the lead back for final announcements and a prayer. We thanked YouTube for such fine leadership before heading to Redemption to learn about making better decisions. Irony? You decide.
Thanks for the opportunity to Q. I’m not much of a yoga instructor and I may never be able to kiss my own knees during a forward fold, but I can google videos with the best of them. Every most days I am thankful for asking GnarlyGoat about the F3 sticker on his truck. I have no doubt I am a better man because of it, even if I’m never asked to Q Recover again. Aye.
