Really? Did I just say that? Yeah, I did. Now, I’m a super competitive person but for some reason when it comes to our softball team here at Barefoot, I don’t mind the occasional (or in our case, oh-so-occasional) loss. We’ve been playing for three seasons, and have but one glorious win under our belt. I’m not going to mention that this win (in our first season) was probably the result of the other team not having enough players; the fact that the league stat sheet says “win,” well, that’s enough for me.

The reason my ultra competitive, do-what-it-takes-to-be-the-best personality is okay with this not-winning-one-single-game-this-season fact is because every Monday night a bunch of us from Barefoot meet at a softball field, and for an hour or so, hang out, cheer each other on, make fun of each other, laugh and have a few drinks. It’s great. It gives us all a chance to be ourselves outside of work and get to know each other on a whole different level.

One of the things that I’ve always loved about Barefoot is the people here. People who work hard and who genuinely like each other. I’ve always believed that this is one of the biggest reasons we all come in here every day, work our asses off and still love (and enjoy) what we do.

While we may not win many (or even barely any) on the softball field, we certainly have a lot of wins here at Barefoot. So as long as none of us quit our day jobs, I think being 0-11 is a perfectly happy place to be.

Go Barefoot!
See you next season.
