Goodbye to a good friend

Last night I found out that my friend Will is leaving the unit. I don't have a clue where he's going but he had a parole interview a month and a half ago, so I hope he is headed home. I wanted to talk with him before he left but I was cleaning my usual spot in cell block for shower crew and couldn't trade locations.

After I finished cleaning cell block I just walked down to Will's dorm. The guard on the hallway knew we were friends and didn't care if I was there. He let me into Will's dorm and Will was surprised to see me. I offered him encouragement and told him to write from wherever he ended up, then we prayed together for a bit. I'm going to miss having him around.

I put in a request for the electrician job two days ago. However, Will told me tonight that the boss isn't looking for new guys right now. Apparently the recession has hit here, too... ha, ha.
