I had my last day at Bruno’s and I’m really going to miss
that place. I know I complained about it a lot but the truth of the matter is
that it was a place that provided stability while I was making a huge career
transition and I had a lot of good experiences while working there.
I said good-bye to Cara and my regulars and walked out after
closing for the last time. There was also a sense of closure when it came to
Brad. He was connected to Bruno’s and always would be but leaving there cut the
last string I had connected to him. He no longer knows where I live or work and I’d blocked his phone number and e-mails long ago. He has no way to contact me at
all which fits in nicely with my plan for a clean slate in 2014 (especially
considering how toxic 2013 was and how Brad was the person that kicked it off
with me).
