Sometimes work is Rawrsome!!

Often, I hate work. I've been doing the same job for the past 2.5 years. It's getting old. I get tired of the customers, the repetitiveness, the back pain, the pay, and the most especially, the co-workers. I only ever love work in two situations, when I'm working by myself, or when I'm working with my co-worker A.

A is simply fantastic. She's around the same age, and also in uni.  She's tons of fun and makes me laugh even when I didn't feel like I wanted to be happy that day.  She cherishes herself and her happiness, and pushes me to care for myself as well.  I hadn't realized how completely comfortable I'd become with her until today.

Our "work space". Images like this make me insanely happy inside.

My boss opened a new store, and because he is cheap, he hasn't bought chairs for his workers yet.  To his credit, we can sit on the chairs where the customers sit, but it's hard to manage a computer while sitting in them.  Left with no where to sit where I could more comfortably waste time on my computer, I brought in pillows to sit on.  However, I always felt odd sitting on the floor and spreading my crap everywhere when I'm working with my other co-workers.  When A is here, I don't worry about sitting on the floor or being neat in front of her.

But I also realized, just today, that I'm more open with her, emotionally, than I am with my other co-workers. I laugh so openly with her, and often over the smallest things!  We work a 10hr shift together, and we get so crazy from being tired, that we laugh over the craziest things. We also act crazy, we take turns taking naps, we take tips (because we're not supposed to keep them-that's another story!), we take longer breaks than we're supposed to, we've eve sat down and had impromptu grand-ish meals.

It's great, and it's all possible because of her, because of her personality, because of her love for life. Yeah, I'm pretty happy today. *cheesy smile*
