First day at second job was really awesome. Feels like I'm working with real people! And so much respect and warmth! Plus some very compatible interests/tastes/politics. Cozy, comfy office and such a short commute... I couldn't ask for more??!
I think I have a random crush developing on a colleague however, which needs to be viciously stepped on and killed with a flamethrower immediately. Please let them have a partner. Haven't heard one mentioned so far... if they don't say anything I'm going to ask (obliquely).
Sounds awesome, so happy for you.
In regard to your work colleague though there are some people who never talk or mentions their other half or partner, even with people who Iβve worked with for over a decade, some of them rarely talk about their other half though they do talk about other aspects of their lives including their kids.
Just a friendly little heads up about it.
Oh for sure. Most people I've worked with have the age and circumstances to be partnered even if without kids, so I generally assume that unless said otherwise.
Not that I care 99% of the time; this is just an incredibly stupid crush that will go away soon enough... but it'll go away faster if I know there's a partner for sure!
But at the same time who knows what could happen!
Especially if this person isnβt with or seeing someone.
New beginnings and all.
Hell yeah! Glad it's working out well β€οΈ
I definitely had a couple of poignant moments of "wow I can't believe what I put up with at my old place".
But it's like with love and relationships, sometimes the best healing from an old job isn't just time off, but a new and better environment to rewire the brain π
We'll see how this goes over the next few weeks. Never managed two jobs like this before
I totally agree with you. Time off is nice, but getting back onto the proverbial horse makes a hell of a difference.
