30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 19
Day 19 - Something you miss.
Many people have heard about my work woes for awhile. A bit of reflecting this week made me realized that I could tolerate almost any work situation if I have a true friend or 4 in the workplace. I still miss my "Three 6 Mafia" gang at my old job at ton. I miss the work a little, but mostly I miss the environment of working with an awesome team. We trusted each other as coworkers, but more than that, we trusted each other as friends. It was the first time that I wanted to invite my entire work team to my birthday party. We invited each other to our houses and we hung out outside of work. When we were having a bad day, the whole team would try to make things better.
Whenever I was having a particular bad day, J would take me on a nacho run. P would bring me jelly bellies. A would sing "Imma gonna kick somebody's ass" in his gospel way over the cube wall. H would just offer me hugs. It was enough.
We had a secret code for various things and we had a magnetic dart boards where we would have short dart throwing contest during the week to blow off steam. During Easter, we would have peep wars and peep contests.
And somehow we still got all of our work done. We helped each other whenever we could and we covered for each other willingly.
That's the biggest thing I'm missing this week. I miss having good people in a good team. There is no one that I talk to here on a "friend" basis. It's just work chit chat. My one good friend here left for another position, so while we still talk, we don't have that constant interaction to keep me sane.
It's so hard to find good people to work with.
