Comms Superiority

Dear Sean,

I wonder if you have taken over the Comms. world yet? The first thing I noticed about you when I started working for STAND was that you were universally liked by everyone. Being myself a somewhat polarizing character I always find this phenomena rather amazing. Most people tend to either really like me, or really dislike me. Though over the years I think I have become more of a “meh” on the feelings scale to most folks since I have toned down my antics. Once I did finally meet you in person I got it though. You are diligent in your work, crass when the situation warrants it, and above all a person that focuses on the needs of others over your own.

While I tend to see people with those traits as having dubious motivations for their behavior, you came off as completely genuine. I did not work with you nearly as much as I did the ladies, but while working with them you were one of the only areas where consensus was as much a given as a period at the end of a sentence. We would argue our way through materials, plans, and opinions, but when all that was finished it was off to Sean, like putting a baby to sleep.

I do miss the good ol’ days of STAND as I have said countless times, but it could be a nightmare somedays, and thankfully you were around to make at least one thing simpler. I have not seen much on your facebook which didn’t pertain to one cause or another and I think that again speaks to your concern for others. Most of us have a news feed clogged with copious amounts of self-centered “me me me” posts and the myriad of ham-fisted attempts at validation for our actions. I am sure you aren’t a superhuman, but you certainly make a good case for Facebook being used appropriately.

I don’t think I have chatted with you on facebook since STAND but, I always have you in my gchat list for whenever I need help with something. Really, if it wasn’t for the slew of you STANDanistas populating my google account, who would I turn too? Either way, I will continue to follow your career, and hopefully someday work with you again someday to give some merit to the little pictures I make for a living.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
