Yes I’m on a softball team. When I started working where I do now, almost over 3 years ago, I got talking into joining the softball team. I wouldn’t say I’m super athletic, well I guess I shouldn’t say I’m not either. I have potential but I was never interested.  I was into other sports but whenever we were forced to play in gym class in high school I would just pick dandelions and laugh with my friends.

Luckily our work softball team and league wasn’t super competitive which has mostly to do with people of all ages being on the teams and it’s coed. I started out kind of dreading it but soon came to love it. Not only was I improving from year to year (I’m quite proud of myself), we go to The Parlor, a local dive bar, after every game and have pizza and beers. This is so fun. We all finally have a chance to bond over something other than work and it’s really nice to see your coworkers in a different light. I’ve made new and better friends with my coworkers because of it.

This week we had our last game of the season. We won and we had fun! We also took some of the best group pictures we’ve taken in a few years. Yeah us!!
