I miss my first job.
My first job straight out of college, that I just couldn't leave because I loved everyone I worked with. They were friends. They were family. It was a joy to come to work everyday.
I met some of my bestest friends at that job. And even when it came to the point where it was better for my career to leave, I hesitated because of my social life. Seriously.
I just had that realization today when I got to work, exchanged a few pleasantries with my next door cube neighbor, worked until noon, walked to the deli by myself to get soup, walked back and worked while eating my chicken tortilla soup. At the end of the day, I left.
Not that I'm looking for people to go lunch with everyday. Really. It's much better for my diet and my budget, since most of the time I bring my lunch and eat at my desk. Also, I love my job and my company and I feel more fulfilled here than at any job I've had. Mostly because I'm damn good at it, and I feel my brain working most of the time.
And it's not that I don't have friends at work - I do. But there are just times when I feel so totally alone.
And this, my friends, is the effect of giving up beef and chocolate for Lent. I get depressed.
Easter, please come soon.
