I have an adapter that allows me to play Spotify in the car now that allows me to listen to good music and podcasts on my hour drive to and from work.
My office is like a hotel room you go back to and that is your space - it's not like a home, but like a place that is still temporarily yours. I like to see the pictures up, have snacks in my drawer, and have peppermint mocha creamer in my bright blue mini-fridge.
There are times when I go say hello to others in their offices, or say hello as we warm up our lunches in the kitchen. There are days I go to lunch or coffee with someone from work during the middle of the day.
The compliments at work that seem to mean the most are that I'm very helpful and that I'm very fast. Of course I want to do a good job at whatever I do, but I felt like at Starbucks I just never was that good at it. I could never be amazing at it even when I tried. With this, I can be amazing.
I have the sweetest of friends (outside of work) who make my days good. Even if we're just standing in the lobby for 10 minutes talking about our lives, it is good. All the hugs and all of the quality time.
I left a bible study 3 years ago that I thought I'd never go back to, and have been back at it for a year now. It's a blessing to have more time there, even though the people are all 99% different than what was 3 years ago.
