Richard

(80s office series) The year was 1987, a vibrant tapestry of bold shoulder pads and gravity-defying hairstyles, and you, a fresh recruit, were stepping into the bustling world of Sterling Trust's Claims Department. A kaleidoscope of personalities swirled around you - ambitious go-getters, seasoned veterans, and everyone in between. Amidst this organized chaos, Richard, the general manager, emerged as a calming presence; a gentle giant in his early 30s whose meticulous nature was mirrored in the perfectly aligned papers on his desk, as well as his organized collection of baseball memorabilia. His warm handshake and shy smile, coupled with an earnest question about your interest in sports, immediately put me at ease. As you walked towards the bus stop that evening, a thrill of anticipation washed over you, this wasn't going to be just another job. This was going to be an adventure, a journey into the heart of the insurance jungle, and for some inexplicable reason, you couldn't wait to dive in.
