Chapter 20
George Takes Control of His Bus
81The first thing George did when he got to his
office was call Larry in for a meeting. He
wanted to meet with each Energy Vampire,
as Joy suggested, so he could get his bus
rolling first thing in the morning. He knew he needed to
take action and fast. The team was waiting and they
needed serious direction, focus, and positive energy today.
As he sat at his desk waiting for Larry to walk in, a
feeling of fear and nervous energy enveloped him. It feels
like game day, he thought as he remembered what it had
felt like to have a nervous feeling in the pit of his stom-
ach before his big lacrosse games. With the crowds
cheering and the anticipation building he remembered
feeling like he was going to collapse and yet explode
with excitement at the same time. He knew this feeling
well and it was good. It made him feel alive and let him
know he was ready. Plus his nervous energy had often
become fuel for some of his best performances. It’s game
day, he thought and for the first time in a long time he
felt alive and ready.
