Why my coworkers are the absolute best

Work hard, play even harder.

Why my coworkers are the absolute best

So I got a new job a few months ago, and I was very wary of it. I really don't like girls and all of my coworkers besides two are girls. Clearly, I went in sort of nervous but I'm so thankful for this crazy group of people I call coworkers. So I naturally had to write everyone telling them how great they are, right? I asked everyone their favorite thing about our crazy group and here is what everyone said:

We're Honest/Blunt

That is the understatement of the year. Sugarcoating is a myth around here. Anytime some one does something dumb or isn't doing something the way they should everyone tells them, I'm not kidding, literally everyone.

We communicate

This sort of ties into honesty, but it still applies. We always talk about what is going on in our workplace we communicate issues and praise and everything the other people need to know. Its pretty great because communication is super important with what we do.

We all have the same sick sense of humor

We're pretty gross, we talk about gross things. Bowel Movements, gross medical stuff, and yet we still act professional because we're all the same. I pray for the person who tries to join our team that doesn't have the same sense of humor as us.

We hold each other accountable

So there are 5-10 fast food restaurants within our area of work place and about 99% of the time I want to eat there instead of the lunch I brought for myself. Well my coworkers are the first people to tell me that I don't need it, and to remember that I want to eat better. We practically create programs to help each others bad behaviors and habits.

We're honestly way too entertaining

We are hilarious. Every other thing we say is a joke, but we still manage to get our jobs done. I'm pretty sure we could have a sitcom about our work place and ratings would soar because of how hilarious we are.

Lastly, we are a team

We support each other's lives. It's more than just work to us, these people know everything about us. Who we're dating, what our plans are for the weekends, we just talk about everything.

I'm so grateful that the people I work with care about me more than just how I work, they care about who I am as a person and I'm so lucky to have such great coworkers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
