The writing here is very nice. I wish my writing carried itself as well. Beyond the style and structure, the tone of the article is remarkable and lovely. Cynicism wrapped in love and hope and nostalgia.

Nice work.

The writing is good because the author fearlessly and shamelessly wrote a story about himself. The narrative is "man goes on a journey."[1] Imagine if he had tried to distance himself from events or cast himself as the cause. He allows the story to reflect real life and the reader to feel the ups and downs and apathy of the workplace from.our own experience. [2]

[1] The other story is "a stranger comes to town."

[2] This but with a bit more amplitude than perhaps is found in our lives. http://sivers.org/drama
