When I was a little girl, I watched this show called Sesame Street. When my daughter was a little girl, she watched it, too. And although we've been post-Elmo for quite some time, I was thinking of that song about the people in your neighborhood. They're the people on your street, the people who you meet, the people who you greet each day. And although I don't really know my actual neighbors, I've got great cubicle neighbors at work. Yes, my work friends are the people who I meet and greet each day...and here are the ones that I talked with personally today.
J.: one of the hardest workers and sweetest people that I know. She makes me laugh whenever she says "No Mas, No Mas!" from the Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie.
J: my coffee-drinking compatriot. He went and got me coffee at Starbucks one day when mine was all icky after they added protein powder to it.
J: who said, "I heard that this is the place to come if you want to be enlightened."
A: who said I inspired her even though she is the one who always inspires me.
W: the funniest "bad cop" that I could ever hope to meet.
D: he is so passionate about what he does that it's contagious.
L: who is always smiling, even when he had an ear infection, and who makes me want to work harder because of his dedication to his own projects.
C: her first initial should stand for "class" because she's first-class in her interactions with others.
This list doesn't count the people I e-mailed or talked with on the phone today or yelled over the cubicle walls with late in the afternoon.
I've got good co-workers, people who I really like, and for that, I'm lucky.
Love,
Rachel
