The first volleyball game of the season was on Wednesday night.
It’s my Previous Company’s league. My team plays in the recreational division (as opposed to the competitive division). It was kinda funny to see most of the same people on most of the same teams. You know how you recognize people, but you never actually know who they are, just that they play on “that Finance team” or “that IS team” or “that other R&D team”? Marketing people never seem to play in the company leagues. Figures. You know how Marketing people are.
Anyway, it was nice to get out of the house. The heady combination of Hopkins Middle School, dressing improperly for the weather, and exercise that doesn’t actually involve cardio brought back all sorts of memories.
And I had a decent game, despite not having touched a volleyball in a year and a half. I’m no superstar, but I do alright for someone who a) is really short and b) can’t really jump. But I’m not one of those people who really are playing “for fun” despite a complete lack of natural athletic inclination and who you hope the ball just won’t come near and dammit isn’t it time for them to rotate out yet?!
Point being, I got out of the house, I interacted with other people (that I know!), and I had a good time. Saw my Ex-Roomdawg, too. I miss her. She was so clean.
