Four little letters...FLGS

It's really very simple. Pick up games, one shots, etc. For many years, the FLGS was the only place I could get together and game, and I met some wonderful friends there along the way. Once ran a one shot and had an entire party of the little buggers (it was amazingly fun!). So, it's not too difficult for most people with a modicum of intelligence to figure out how I could have gotten so many different players over the years...telling that you couldn't figure this out.

I just witnessed one of the bravest things in one of our meetings at work. (This meeting is for all staff, including upper management and regional management.) At these meetings, it's pretty common to give a shout-out to those of us who have "service anniversaries," marking the date that people started with the company and how long they have been working here, etc. And today, this discourse occurred:

Announcer: "And I'd like to give a shout-out to Alex! She's been with the company for two years! I remember when I hired her..."
Alex, interrupting: "Two whole years and you still haven't managed to learn my pronouns."

I swear the temperature in the room dropped 30 degrees. To their credit, the Announcer didn't do that tired "oh gosh I'm so sorry, I should know better, I meant to say ______, let's make this all about me" response that usually happens...but still. It was a tense moment that put Alex in an unfair position, and it wasn't the first time. The meeting resumed after a delicate course correction and a "thank you for correcting me, that was uncalled for." I suspect Announcer is getting reprimanded, and everyone else in the room is going to be signed up for training. But one thing's for certain: I'm buying Alex a pint at the next happy hour, because that was the bravest and most badass thing I've ever seen in a staff meeting.

See, as an ace individual, I just refer to everyone as "Dude."

Come to think of it, many things are also "Dude." The snack machine, when it steals my money, is definitely a "Duuuuude."
