Driving to work, I think: What if that wasn’t a memo NSG was writing – what if it was a letter of resignation? Then I think, no, it wasn’t – he wouldn’t do that, not like this.
Except, he did.

To All Astros Teammates:
It is with deep regret that I must inform you today of NSG's resignation. For personal reasons, NSG has chosen to make this decision effective immediately. I feel confident that I can speak for everyone in the organization in wishing him the best of luck in his future endeavors along life's path. NSG will always be an Astro and has been a true friend to each of us!
This note will also serve to advise everyone internally of the immediate opening for [his] position. A specific job description will be written soon and all applications will be coordinated through the Human Resources Department.
Thank you!
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
For the first time in my life, a baseball field is the last place I want to be.
