Justin
Last week I lost a co-worker who was close to my age unexpectedly (in recent times he beat Cancer), if you ever met him He was larger then life and always so positive and I who as someone who lives largely inside myself well. Justin was that type of person that had a nuance for knowing how to extract only the goodness out of you. We worked in different departments and had different circles of people. He invited me to a thing they did in the engineering department in which I gained interest in, on a file cabinet we would draw with a sharpie a bulls eye or as the game progressed we had evolved the game to keep it fresh and fun we had bonus targets with higher points but bigger risks. We had a line with tape on the floor and you could not cross it or your throw is disqualified and once a week the Engineers and I (I work IT) and Justin would send calendar invites to me to try it and I showed up and I loved it (because I did good right away, lol) and kept going back week after week and we then made it a thing and it attracted people from 5 to about 20 people per week, enough that it was taken so long to complete we thought management would say something soon, so the game right, ha sorry, lost in great memories, The game was simple, we would try to find the best magnet (the ones for EAP where the best and we stole them all around the office for our game, must of looked funny on the outside of that and we throw the magnets from like 10 feet away at a bullseye on a metal file cabinet and you get 3 throws and your combined score of all 3 would be your score, the top score would get to keep the W.M.D.C. (World’s Magic Dart Champion) trophy for the week, also if you did have the trophy you were able to print and picture of you that you wanted and could use these special awesome winners magnets, sometimes people would use your magnets with your picture thinking the magnets were better, and yes I have had this trophy many times and held the records for most consecutive weeks (3 in a row). We continued this until Covid hit and it never came back, maybe this is exactly what does need to come back at work in honor of a Man who only chose to see the good side to things, I have become better by only being around you, I wish you peace and love Justin.
