| | Football!
My first account at the new company involves football. Something I neither knew nor cared about. At first. The first day on the job, I was handed the keys to a safekeeping box, which I thought I'd get to keep personal stuff in. When I opened it, however...
Me: It's filled with junk!
Football-loving colleague: What? It's not junk! Anyway please take good care of those.
Me: Boy, there are a lot of footballs in here. Wait, there's a bunch of signatures on this one...
F-LC: Yeah.
Me: Whose signatures are these?
F-LC: Barcelona.
Me: That's not a who, that's a where.
F-LC: No, as in Barcelona...
Me: Oh wait. Is there a Barcelona football team?
F-LC: ... Yes.
(Almost) a month has passed since I joined. And many football conversations later, I'm slowly but surely picking up a few things about football. While far from understanding the game, at least I no longer ask how to spell famous players' names. And more importantly, I'm getting a better understanding of the rivalry.
Vive le epidemic?
