Slice: Some People Won’t Disappear

A little more than 30 years ago, I worked in a newsroom with a guy who didn’t like me. I knew this because friends there were kind enough to share with me some of his comments. As I didn’t happen to care for him either, this situation was fine with me. Besides, everyone pretty much realized his resentment was based on two key facts. The editors praised my work. And this one woman in features he desired made it clear that she liked me. Anyway, he moved on in fairly short order. There really wasn’t any need to give him another thought. Oh, I found it mildly amusing to read long ago that he managed to get fired from a large Northwest daily during his first week at work there. But for the most part, he was gone and forgotten.
