All the Places You've Worked
Can you remember all the places you've ever worked?
Do you remember your very first job? Do you remember the best job you ever had? Do you remember your LEAST favorite job ever?
Now....if you can remember them, what do you remember most about those jobs? Was it the work itself? The building?
Think about it now!...way back when, when you think about any place you used to work, what do you remember the most about that place?
Well, for me it's the people I was there with....It's the People! of course! the one's with whom you would spend an entire day...day after day...and month after month...and year after year.
I remember specific tasks from nearly 20 years ago, but I remember mostly the banter Tim and Jeff and Jody and I had in the Art Room twenty years ago.
Nearly all of my best friends in the world, I've met them there...at work...
And there are those who I think *really* could have been great friends, and had there been a certain connection or circumstance...or maybe persistence in either of our parts at the time...who knows what could have happened then?
Well, those friendships didn't happen for one reason or another...and I lament that.
But I AM grateful for the people I have found...and I found them at work...I think that no matter what you find there...sometimes Fate brings us together...I'm certainly not an expert in any of this...but I do know that in a certain way, fate brings some of us together.

i totally and completely agree with you. It's the people that make work fun. It's what keeps you coming in day and day out. You can work a crap job but if you're having fun it's all that matters. I've lived it and done that. Hope you find the good in the people you work with now, because it can change a blah night into an extradordinary one.. and life.
