Modern times

There’s a bloke I’ve known for a few years who works for ANZ. He was my branch manager for a while and then moved on into head office. I saw him every now and then when I caught the train to work. He was always on the 7.25, regular as. Always caught it from the same spot on the platform. Last time we bumped into each other for the ride to the city, a few weeks back, he was wondering about whether he would be let go in the next round of bank redundancies. He thought it was a pretty good chance. The prospect clearly left him a little uneasy but resigned.

I haven’t seen him the last few times I’ve caught that train. He wasn’t there again today.

    Well this morning I was on the bike, so it remains a mystery.
