It's Not the Place, It's the Company

It was a pleasant surprise, after the insanity of the past few months, to discover that I was actually glad to be getting back to work this morning. At first I thought it was because of the break, and that probably does have a lot to do with it, but after a while I realized that another major reason was that I missed my co-workers.

It's kind of bizarre - I've never developed that kind of attachment to anyone I've worked with before (outside of summer camp, which is a whole different kettle of onions). After giving it some more thought, though, it makes perfect sense. These are the people that I've seen on an almost daily basis for the past few years, and we've recently come through a very stressful group project that required us to really pull together and work as a team to get everything done. That tends to be a major bonding experience.

So today I'm thankful for the people that I work with. They make coming to work a lot more fun than it would be otherwise :)

Yay, Sarah, I'm glad you're back! It's good to work with good people - we spend so much time with our colleagues... it feels like more time with them than at home!
