Yes, actually, I do exist. I've become pretty absorbed by work. The people there make me extraordinarily happy. Things that have happened at work recently:
-everyone in the front lobby singing 'Sweet Caroline' at the top of their voices;
-fake fights between fake spouses about fake cheating;
-nicknames like Dan the Black Belt Man and Mein Kampf;
-and a reenactment of "Office Space", including smashing a real printer in the street (that was Luke's idea).
It's weird though. I get asked every once and a while why exactly I'm working at Tomb. My initial answer was 'it's cheaper than grad school' but that doesn't seem to work anymore. One of my managers has actually said that she's going to start looking for internships for me. And see, this happens every time. I find a place that I like and the people there don't let me settle. Sure, I'm lucky because people actually care enough to try to advance me, but I don't see how they read that in me. Multiple people from many places assuming that I can do better. How can they all come to the same conclusion? Why do I seem to be 'better' than the situation that I'm in? It's not really a question of whether I deserve 'better'; it's a question of how everyone around me sees it. Or, even more, why they all try to push me.
