I think my job is going well. They trust me with making deliveries on my own, so during the day I get to leave the office and walk around the loop area. I still feel that I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying my best.
I hear a lot of office gossip. It makes me grateful that I am only there for a few months and I am young enough to just be "a summer kid" and not a victim of this negativity.
I see the same people everyday walking the streets. If I sit in a different place than normal or stop for a bagel and run late, I sometimes still see the same people.
I enjoy the solitude among the masses of people. I am walking next to people the entire day, but there is no obligation to speak or even look. It makes it all the more meaningful when a conversation or even a smile is exchanged with a stranger. Oddly enough, I am quite enchanted by these strangers. No one has to be nice, but I am grateful when someone holds the elevator or steps aside to let me go ahead of them. It is the small things. I don't know if they make life worth living, but they make it a little easier.
