You and Your Job

Do you feel you have a relationship with your job? Really. Think about it. The folks you work with, inside the same walls and maybe in the same spot for months, weeks--years? Do you feel you have a relationship there?

I do. I don't call my job or my job surroundings my 'family' as I've heard co-workers say. . At church I do, yet not at work. Do you? I'm back from the day where 'family' wasn't even mentioned in the workplace, but more of "I ain't gotta like you. I just gotta me able to work with you." I admit, I have more of that ol school feeling than we are family at work.

Am I wrong? Sure, I have come good chums there, Monday-Friday, 8 to 4:30pm, although at 4:31Pm they no longer exist until the next morning at 8AM. OKOKOK, I don't want any harm to come to my co-workers, even the ones I like least. I'm just honest. We part and live our lives at 4:30PM.

Do you do that?

Relationships are funny things. How different they all are. From the intense 15 minutes spent with MLG, to my six year liaison with Movie Man, to my "What year is this again?" with Bear, and the"remember this..." relationship with KC Chum who I have not seen in years and decided I was done with him after the last time we did see each other. Yet, we're still together after 30 plus years.

So back to you and your job. To me that is one. Just like any other relationship, it can be good or bad or both....

Perhaps it could be even like a relationship that's run its course.
Hmm.
