My manager is a perfectly nice person, but I never have had any sort of in depth talks with him. I guess he just was too busy, or seemed like he had too much on his mind to be able to have time to talk with a lowly office cubicle worker such as myself. However, when I saw him walk into the office today wearing a westbeach maverick jacket, I was just amazed and could not help but comment. I told him that I had not had any idea he was interested in snowboarding. He immediately smiled the biggest grin ever and told me it was his big passion in life.
