Going back to work after a long weekend can be a drag, however, I'd like to say that today I really appreciated being at work. It's not always that I enjoy the work itself, but I truly work in an unusually good atmosphere.
Robin, our receptionist, moved into Rosenort after marrying her high school sweetheart Johnni. They bought Ryan's grandma's house, and have been living here for about four years now. Robin is not only a co-worker, but she has become a fabulous friend. Without realizing it, we have been using each other for advice, consolement and confidentiality since she started working here. I tell her things that I would never talk to another soul about, due to the fact that when working in such close quarters with someone, moods and attitudes shine through brightly. We have had days when we've both nearly been in tears, and others where we've been in tears because we have laughed so hard.
Frank is our production manager. It's tough to describe Frank, but his hobbies include cars, buying cars, fixing and driving old cars, posters of old cars, music and spirituality. Well, Frank just got engaged, and he has been floating around here on a cloud for weeks.
Justin and Reg are our pressman, and although I don't chat with them a lot, the two of them have a joined sense of humour that baffles us all. For example, here is a joke that Reg came up with that was shared at coffee break (please keep in mind that we do printing for a company called Meridian Industries who manufactures grain bins):
Joe and Dianne have been dating for a long time, but Joe has not been able t decide if Dianne is the woman he should spend the rest of his life with. One day, while driving through the countryside, Joe reads a sign that makes him realize he must marry Dianne. The sign was on a grain bin, and it said "Meri-dian".
Joce is our finisher. She trims up all the printed work, folds things, collates things, packages things. She is a fine Holdeman women, who has never moved our of her parent's home - she's 63. She will often laugh at our lame humor, but will become quiet when spiritual topics arise.
And last but not least, is my boss. My father. My mentor. I cannot believe that it is so easy for us to work together every day. Somedays I think it has put a funny twist on our father/daughter relationship, but it makes us strong.
All these things combined make for a fairly pleasant work environment that I am very happy to have. It will be tough when the time comes to leave this place, knowing that another job like this would be hard to come by.
