[271/365] ¡Qué linda!

I was talking to someone on the phone today who's chair of a thing I'm a trustee for.

I got asked to be a trustee earlier this year (which is possibly the most grown-up thing I have ever done) and today we were talking about how I got a job soon after. She's really glad about my job but also was saying she felt good about having "gotten" me first because she'd kind of recruited me herself. "I feel like I poached you! Like when you hear people talk about football players, trying to get them before another team does. I'm like 'Yeah, I got Maradona'!"

There was a little more of this, I can only paraphrase here, because I was feeling flattered even before she mentioned Maradona but at that point it just got ridiculous and my brain shut down.

What a nice thing to have happen.
