Yep — he was the hiring manager. He paused, stared at me, then laughed and said, “You again? Well, I already know you’re a team player.” I got the job.
- One rainy morning, my cat Nibbles vanished.She’s an escape artist with a diva complex, so I wasn’t surprised — just worried. I put out flyers, knocked on doors, and eventually got a text from a guy named Alex a few blocks over. Turns out, Nibbles had wandered into his garage and decided to adopt his toolbox as a throne.
He returned her with a smirk and a “She’s got attitude.”
Fast-forward eight months: I spot a soaked golden retriever pacing outside the supermarket, no collar, shivering. I take him home, dry him off, name him Waffles for the night. The next morning, I check a local lost pet group — boom, a match.
I message the number and arrange to return Waffles. Door swings open. It’s Alex.
He bursts out laughing, “No way. Toolbox cat?” Yep. Full circle.
We high-fived. Nibbles hissed from her carrier in the car.
