Lucky One

I talk to people about their next job a lot. Which means we talk about their last job a lot, too. Funny things, these jobs: in between all the days where we dream of lottery winning and beers on the beach, we get those other days. The ones far removed from mandatory fun, from the breakroom cakes and the training seminars. Days when the people around, your team, find a way to be more than just our coworkers. Not quite friends, maybe not family, but something else. Something you’ll look back and realize that while it wasn’t the dream, maybe you were luckier than you realized.
