We bonded over awkward break room lunches, customer stories
and our love for sarcasm. My over excitement and inability to be quiet and do
nothing really evens out your RBF syndrome (it’s something you’re born with, I
know you’re not reaaaally that bad) and thrill of sitting at home binge
watching Netflix.
I was scared of you at first, you were really quiet and
seemed to be the first out the door when the day was over, but it turns out we
had a lot more in common than we thought. We have the same taste in music,
share celebrity crushes, hate to love the Kardashians, we’re obsessed with
Chinese food, wear the same shoe size and can conveniently fit into each
other’s clothing. I’ve worked with you for 2 years now and almost daily we spend
our lunches jamming out to trap music and the occasional Justin Bieber, eating
Panera salads and fueling our shopping addiction. We’ve got to the point of
knowing exactly what one is think just by our facial expressions and having
code words and names for everything. I
spend more time with you than any other person in my life and we still choose
to see each other outside of work..how you’re not sick of me yet is a mystery I
hope I never solve. I can confide in you with anything and you always know the
right thing to say and sometimes it’s nothing at all. You make me read the fine
print when I’m online shopping and make sure to make fun of me when I order
something from China that probably won’t come until 2020. You send me all the
cat photos because you know how much I love cats and our text messages are
completely consumed by inappropriate memes and links to celebrity gossip
articles. Constantly pulling my head up on the days I want it to drag and
making sure I get a little extra expresso in my coffee on long, early mornings.
You help me grow everyday as a person, make work a place I look forward to
going to everyday (so stop taking vacation days without me), calm me when I’m
frustrated and always listen when I have more than an earful to say. We share
laughs, frustrations, secrets, lunches, clothes and most importantly memories.
Thank you for making work not seem like work at all.
until next time.
