life's a one way road

thot i'll be coming early tonite as it is the usual on-the-dot-leave-office thing every friday.
it was very different tonite.
the morality was low. but the company for the shift was good. and so this saw us gathering ard chit chatting. for once i wouldn't say that this was a total waste of time. not coz i part took in it but for once i felt the genuinity in what my fellow colleagues had to say. it was funny how it all took place. itt started off with 2 depratment graveyard shift pple feeling the lack in momentum to work and gathering ard to chit chat with 2 later shift pple hunting diff level of office for food. N discovering the many extra bottles of wine left over from the evening drinking session. N so... we hunted the wines down... and so 3 of us shared almost 2 bottles of wine. hahaha.. and as usual drinks come along iwht talk & the increasing amoount of alcohol brought along the level of barrier we had for each other. it;s funny how the wine just borught down the 'resentment' of one to alomost zero as we shared our views with each other. views of life, family, work. I share similar experiences with one of them and similar views but yet its nice to hear the other views and be discussing things that we would have never discussed before esp about work. I dun regret staying back to talk to these ' seniors'. afterall they've been in this workforce much longer than i do... they haf their familes and intending to start one... n me being or rather abt to be freesh in the market.. it's a refreshing thot to combine my own beliefs, my experience in this work place and hear what they haf to say. n similarly knowing that i dun differ very far off from them. not that i'm being an auntie but i feel it's a preparation on my part to know and expect in my future work environment and how it differs so vastly from what i've been educated to think about.
in a way, though i would have preferred to come home n indulge in my comp & in my bed, i'm glad i stayed on and talk to them. I hear grouces. i hear different points of view. I hear about things that i've learnt recently in my courses and how true they are. I learn to appreciate n be glad n thankful that i stuck to my decision to take on my second major. To me, they were initially taken as a means of heightening my grades and partly interest, but now i dun feel that way. I'm glad that i took this course up as i feel that i has shaped a lot of my views n thinking and it has some way or another preparred me for the harsh facts and reality of life. And tonite, I learnt that I've gained another true friend.. or maybe 2... but at least that 1 is for sure. Much as I dun exactly like what i do, i've taken away a lot with this job. Not the skill sets but the mindset. the learnings. I'm indeed bless & thankful for these 2 shi jies. Though i muz admit, i miss out one my usual dose tonite. :( sorry DBC for making u wait up.
and well if not for the strange thing that happened n make us leave our office, we'll still prolly be there talking though the effects of the alcohol has worn out.
