Today my hookup got fired

Every job that I've had, there has always been a type cast for my in job hook up. He is always a 30 something , loud, black man, from queens, who firsts introduces himself to me after intentionally speaking to the person next to me. He makes a joke and ill laugh to big him up and to not seem so cold. This guy usually started low in the company and worked his way up to better himself. Well today the new that guy, was demoted and quit. Within three and a half weeks of work I had already been hooked up three times, merely because I spoke, I relate, and I can respect your energy which stands out in corporate America. Above learning that its always better to get fired than quit because you can collect unemployment and you still leave on ok terms with the company, I learned the value of a simple five minute convo. It can mean the world to someone who often goes unrecognized. RIP until that next job. No seriously, rest while you can and thanks for the hook ups.
