I would run into Moe and Sean almost every day even though they never knew who I was. We worked for two different divisions for a major pharmaceutical company that shared office space in Building 2400 on Madison St in downtown Milwaukee. They worked in Research & Development and I worked in Accounting. While we had the same employer, our jobs never required us to interact.

I’d overhear them bragging though about who got laid the most that month in the bathroom. I’d notice them walking out to lunch throwing football passes between them. I’d see them outside in the afternoons smoking a cig. Moe would often put one leg up on the railing denoting the smoking area and smoke with his elbow resting on his thigh. Being 26 years old, 240lbs and standing 6’5’,” with broad shoulders and a bit of a post-college football gut, even leaning over that railing Moe was already a giant. I often wondered if I hadn’t imagined the railing bend ever so slightly when he leaned against it…or if it actually did bend.
