The Office (Actually, I Work At A Tutoring Center...)

Are you hungry? Sorry this is such a messy picture...I was too busy eating seconds of delicious of BJ's pizza to notice :D

Was I at BJ's with family or friends? Or am I a loner who likes to enjoy an entire pizza all to herself in a family restaurant? While both options are correct, I was actually at a workplace gathering. I feel so grown up saying that. "I went out with my coworkers." "Yeah, after WORK, the other WORKERS and me are going out for dinner together." Did my silly imaginings just ruin my previously established maturity? Oh well, it happens :)

Before today, I had barely had full conversations with some of my coworkers. I was worried that I would feel out of place at this gathering. However, my love for food and my even greater love for free food figured that I would enjoy this gathering regardless of who I was with. But we all know that depending on the company, food can taste a lot different.

BJ's has pretty good pizza, right? But what about those in between moments when you're waiting for your food or you just finished a plate and have to take a break before taking on another helping? For some it gets boring or awkward to not have someone to talk to. And the people around you might notice, too. Maybe they'll try to make conversation with you, but it'll be about the food or why you're not eating (hello, you have to pace yourself). Luckily, my work gathering was not like that. At first, when I saw that I wasn't sitting next to people I was most familiar with, I thought this might be boring. But I am lucky enough to work with very open people who were willingly to talk to me about anything ^ ^ I think I lucked out with this workplace because everyone is so friendly to me :D Please x 100 let me work with nice people again!

   
 A really nice guy was giving me advice on Berkeley. I talked to someone else about her new haircut lol. Another person told me about her backpacking trip to Europe. The guy in the picture told me not be too embarrassed about getting lost on the way while sounding extremely embarrassed for me. Company you enjoy makes the pizza you would normally enjoy taste much better!
I actually got lost on my way to BJ's. I wonder if I'll get teased about it later...Oh well, it happens ^ ^ I had a good time :) How do you guys feel about your coworkers?
