An old friend

cigarette disposal

Apparently they have a lot of these cigarette disposal containers on the public streets, it's the first I've noticed them, probably because I don't smoke.

I was at the grocery store the other day and ran into an old co-worker.  I hadn't seen him in 17 years.  He was surprised that I still recognized him, then he called me by name so he remembered me too.  He looked the same, his hair had a touch of grey and might have started receding slightly.  It was great to catch up.  He is still working at my old company.

Have you ever run into people from your past, how did it go?

That's a smart cigarette disposal container! I rarely meet anyone from my past! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

Never anyone I would like to run into, but two women who worked at the same company as I back in the 70's/80's. One I ran into at Trader Joe's and we are now Facebook friends. The other at the local Stater Brothers. We spoke, but there was nothing to warrant keeping in contact. Both still looked great. Oh ... and one woman who was mean to me when she was my boss in 2006 at a different Trader Joe's. I avoided her at first, then something made me go over and give her a hug. That was closure on a bad episode in life for me.

I don't run into people from my past very often. The last time it really happened was about ten years ago when I ran into an old schoolfriend randomly. He recognised me, but I wasn't able to recognise him. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I basically haven't changed much - at least in appearance - since I was in secondary school.

Pretty fancy cigarette disposal!!!
No...I can't say that I have since we've all gone our separate ways over the years~

Over the years I have managed to keep in touch with a few old friends and work colleagues too ... which is great.

All the best Jan

I'm a little too far to run into old friend and coworkers now. But when I lived in Montreal it happened sometimes and it would be fun.

Its very seldom that I run into someone from my past.

I haven't seen those disposal units around here, it looks good. I'm glad you have a nice interaction with your friend, it's pretty rare for me to run into people randomly.
