One of the best things about where I work is we are very community or family oriented. We help each other with taking care of kids. We have a baby showers, wedding showers, (to this day I can't figure out why they are called showers. Water is not involved), birthday parties.
The basic idea is we help each other out.
But like any family we get a little too involved in each others lives.
For example a couple nights ago I made plans for dinner with a friend from church. This friend just so happens to be male. He's not a bad looking kid, he's tall, and drives a big yellow truck. We are not a couple but he stands out, he's obviously one of those guys you just hope and pray your daughter will date.
He decided to come pick me up at the office.
Here I would like to add that most of the employees at the office are women. Married women.
It was the cutest thing I had ever seen and actually kind of touching.
They were sooo excited to see me get picked up by a good looking guy. I showed him around a little bit and got my things to go and every where I went I saw these wonderful women I work with smiling and looking at me like this was the most exciting event that could have happened that day.
As I was leaving the office and shutting the door I turned around to see if they were still watching.
Sure enough they were. I smiled, crossed my eyes, stuck out my tongue, and quietly walked away leaving them laughing behind me.
It was as if I had 10 mom's watching their little girl going on her first date.
Since then I get question about, "is he your boyfriend?" or "are you going out again?"
But it's not so much about whether or not I'm daitng someone. It's about knowing my co-workers care about me and are excited about things that happen in my life.
It's touching.
