From telling everybody it's 'Race, to the new guy getting you labeled Horry.
Oh, boyyo...
I spent a lifetime around call signs. Most just go with the flow. The normal guys.
The ones that try to push one name & end up with another? Not the normal guys. Also, those are the guys that may as well have the "kick me" signs taped on their backs. Deservedly.
Bodrev is a call sign. A guy was shitface drunk and was calling on me to help him walk and spelling my name all wrong. It was a pretty hilarious and memorable situation so it caught on. Similar with other guys I know. I don't know anyone who made his own call sign.
I hope Horry masters that little imp in his chest that keeps prodding him to self-immolate. But if he goes Gamma at the wrong moment and gets himself killed we can always enjoy the saga of Reb & Julie.
Horace Scrubb Is not a main player at MCI, but he is the main character of the story titled "Monster Control Incorporated." Who gets the girl may be less important than whether the narrator can Control the Monster within himself and if a man harboring so many self-created internal demons can be trusted with fighting external ones.
Reb is a godsend. This is the guy you want to be friends with, he a good guy and a network builder. He'll know a ton of women within a few months and you know what that means boys. Hell, Julie may even have a hot sister. Woot woot - things are looking up baby!
"I’d been working with Julie for weeks. Weeks of being professional, being respectful, trying to show her I was different from the guy who’d stalked Elise in Chicago. And what did I have to show for it? Polite professionalism and the occasional use of my first name."
If she isn't flirting with him, he is not flirting when he is flirting. He is asking for a beating or a spot in the sex offenders registry.

My boy! There's our second step forward. I still have a bad feeling about this, but our authors are nothing if not entertaining.
"That I’d put in the time, that I’d changed, that I deserved a chance!
Except that’s not how it worked."
My man!
Been looking forward to this part of the story.

Reb was coming from the moment Julie was introduced. Let's not pretend what's his name is main character anymore.

I hope the Ghost of Stan Mayslack body slams a vengeful spirit attempting to interrupt their Brewpub tour.

Uh oh. I've got a bad feeling about this. Don't spiral, Horry! We're rooting for you.
Also funny how he didn't bristle at the new nickname.
Losers hate a winner. If you feel a jealous fire in your chest the outlook for you is grim. Go air your grievances on reddit.
The right move is to applaud Reb and take some notes on his technique. It was smooth.
Reb has a natural charm that's attractive to women and admired by decent men. This is hilarious. Poor Horry can't help himself.
Yes, losers hate themselves, and cope with a delusion bubble.
The winner pops the bubble, then the loser projects their self-loathing onto the winner, as if they were the source of the loser’s misery.

Hehe. My guy.
We know. And yet we keep giving in to the impulse filling our chest with sick fire.
