Interaction

First off, I apologise for the lack of blogs. Although you might not give a shit, I happen to give a certain amount of them and I've always intended this to be something that isn't a phase. I've been working full time and this means I have limited finger to keyboard opportunities. It also means I haven’t spent any time with Sari (my Dragon Age character). She's probably being mauled by dark spawn as we speak, which is obviously a lie, because nothing happens to characters in a game when the game isn't being played...right...RIGHT?! I am super loving my new job so I feel I can claim some victory points. It is so much fun. Best job I've ever had hands down.

Since starting, people have been so unbelievably nice to me. Hellos in the corridors, always having someone to talk to at lunch, manners and thank yous. I have my own locker, I know nearly everyone by name and I actually feel comfortable in the staff room (staff rooms are usually evil, awkward places where demons swarm). Those little things that have boosted me up and it’s shocked me to an extent because this has never happened to me in any other job. I think that having supportive, friendly people to associate with is an important component in how successful a person is in a job. I've always treated other people with respect and love because that’s how I was raised, how I intend to raise my own children one day and how I think everyone should behave. It isn't hard, and oh yes, it’s free. Kindness to others doesn't cost a single penny (which is fabulous for me because I barely even have that at the moment). All you need to do is gently extract your head from inside your rectum and take an interest in the people around you. Be sociable. Humans aren't solitary creatures by nature, so make sure you interact with people because it’ll relieve loneliness and boredom and it’ll make others feel good too. Just to clear any confusion, by interact, I don’t mean having a lovely conversation with a colleague during a break and then accidentally opening their toilet cubicle door while they are on the toilet because the lock wasn't working. That isn't good interaction (practice what you preach Sarah).

Happy Wednesday everyone!
