At work, I’m usually fine until after lunch break. When I get back from lunch, well, I’m running on fumes. Exhausted. I just walk around in a sleepy haze the rest of the day until I get off at 2:30 pm, I don’t have a lot of energy left in my tank. But despite that, I just think of funny things to say to anyone. And I also am more willing to be assertive and give back what certain people at work dish out.
But most people are cool at work and I got in a friendly conversation with a soldier today, a good guy. I was in the break room drinking a coke and he walked in for coffee and after a minute I told him, “I can drink one of these in three minutes.”
Because we are really not supposed to stop working but the bosses look the other way. I know some of the soldiers would complain if they see us standing around too much so that’s why I said it. But he surprised me and laughed. He thought that timing myself was really funny and we ended up talking for a few minutes. Another reason why I like my job most of the time.
