SAM

I ARRIVED AT THE OFFICE LATER than I wanted, but I was swamped this week with a multitude of meetings to attend, site visits to some of our local facilities to check on progress and take care of some personal errands. I flew back to the Hall of Fame headquarters in Ohio to go over some post-induction ideas they recently contacted me about. One of which was a rock n’ roll history photo book. It was merely a brainstorming meeting with nothing set in stone or even a confirmation that this idea particular idea was going to be pursued.

As I arrived, I found Jamie still at work but more specifically in the parking lot what looked like loading her belongings into her car. I took care of a lot of things today, but the one thing that I had forgotten to do was check on how her first day was. I did manage to communicate with Amy what Jamie could assist me with but that was the kind of thing I should have taken care of personally. It was ill-mannered of me.

I approached her methodically but like always I managed to startle her again. As funny as it was, I didn’t want her to think my constant creeping up on her was a habit. I wasn’t trying to creep up on her at all, it just ended up that way.

“Oh, geez. Not again.” Jamie jumped in surprise.

“Jamie Winters,” I emphasized. “See I got the hang of it. How was your first day?”

“Hi, Sam. Oh wait, should I start saying Mr. Ellis now?” Jamie asked.

“Sam’s fine. I wanted to apologize for my absence the past couple of weeks. I had every intention of being there in the interview as well as your first day, but I’ve been swamped with last minute fires and requests.”

“It’s been good. Your staff has been very helpful for me today. With their help, I’m sure I’ll get caught up.”

“That’s great. We have a great team here. I’ll be in the office more this week, so I want you and me to sit down and chat sometime. I wish I could have today but as you can see I just got back a few minutes ago.”

“Well, we just closed up.” Jamie’s face lit up whenever she laughed.

“I left some files here that I wanted to take home and review. I’m glad you had a good day, I hope you end up liking it here.”

“Everyone’s really nice, especially Marta. She is a very sweet lady.”

“Marta is like my second mom. She’s such a gem. I am glad everyone’s treated you well. I expect nothing less from them that I would expect from myself. I’ve gotta get inside so I can head on home but I’ll definitely see you tomorrow. Let’s chat, alright?”

“See you tomorrow.”
