Yesterday took an odd and unexpected turn, to say the least. I had to stop by work for something, of course after postponing it at least once, maybe twice. So yeah, I took the bus, feeling a bit anxious. That feeling always sneak up on me if there's a place I haven't been at for a few days even with it's categorized as safe in my head. A colleague of mine wasn't feeling very well and asked if I could take the second half of the shift.
I said I might as well since I was already there. This sudden turn of events was a pleasant surprise. As previously mentioned, it is often easier to mobilize your inner strength when somebody depends on you or asks for a favour. You don't just change into your uniform but also change the mindset. How we are able to do that still fascinates me. I went from wanting to paint something so I could watch the paint dry to working at the till, and I didn't mind either.
Eventhough you don't talk much to the other people at work you still have the sense of working together with someone. Being appreciated and knowing that my presense contributes to something is important to me.
When you get home around nine pm all you want to do is to relax, right? I wouldn't have done anything else if I hadn't been at work, though still it is more satisfying after coming home. It's not a secret that I'm not very social or spend time around people, which I know is my own wrongdoing. Nonetheless, speaking to friends online happens daily. Online social activity can't replace the face to face-way, I know that, but still shouldn't be disregarded as useless, especially as I met one of my closest friends online.
