Today was pretty damn good. Long and tiring, but good.

I found out that I have more in common with my co-workers than I ever thought possible. When I got in this morning, my shift-leader Ben was singing "Popular" out loud while he worked. XD Not only does he have a great voice, but he knows the words to many of my favorite showtunes. We sang songs from "Wicked" and "Avenue Q" together until my other co-workers showed up.

We had a pretty slow day, so we were able to chat amongst ourselves a lot more than usual (don't worry; we still got all the work done XD). As it turns out, we're all big nerds. I used the terms "shipping" and "slash" and "/b/tard" and "CAPSLOCKER" they both knew what I meant. Turns out that Kayla, one of my co-workers, likes to RP here on El Jay just like I do.

We don't just talk about our hobbies. We also discuss politics and things of a more serious nature. When I found out that both Ben and Kayla were Pro Life, I was ecstatic. It truly is a blessing to find people who not only share your hobbies, but share your most treasured views as well. I've only been with these people for a few days, but it already feels like we are good friends.

Okay, so I'm gushing. It might even seem like I'm bragging. Last year, I worked at a cinema, with a lot of really condescending, lazy, bitter, and bitchy people. It was pretty much hell. I just want to emphasize how damn lucky I am to be working in a place with people who I love being with. I want to savor my situation while it lasts. I won't be working at Quiznos forever, and eventually, the people I'm working with will also move on to bigger and better things. Who you work with is just luck of the draw.

You're so lucky. Or have social skills, whichever. Sorry about your old job, though.

Thank you!
I'm just lucky. Like, I scratch my head at how lucky I turned out to be.

My social skills aren't terrible, but they aren't that great, either. It kinda depends on who I'm with. I happened to really hit it off with these specific people. If I'm with people who make me feel uncomfortable, I get really quiet and somewhat nervous.

Wow, sounds like an awesome jobvironment. I can only hope to find one that is close to that awesome when I go to Fargo, but... as you said, luck of the draw.

Congrats on getting the lucky draw, though XD

As much as I hated my old job I vaguely miss the rare times I did have somewhat meaningful discussions with other employees. Human interaction, it is good.
