If you've never worked in a large open gray room subdivided by hundreds of cubicles then I'm not sure you're really be able to relate with this post. Just a heads up.
There's a moment in Julie and Julia where she gets her first blog comment and she's so excited she stands up and high fives the woman who works in the neighboring cube.
I loved this moment.
And although I really related to the thrill of getting a new comment from a new reader that isn't what has stuck with me. It's the work friend relationship.
Since moving to this new job that is what I've missed the most. My work friends. I walk down the long hallways thinking of funny things to tell my old work friends or funny pranks to play on them and then I come to the sobering realization that I don't have them anymore.
It's quite a sad thing to loose people who played such a constant role in my daily life.

About Me
- Katie
- I graduated from BYU with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in April of 2003, and moved out to Colorado to take a great job in the aerospace industry the following June. On June 21, 2007 I married the man of my dreams, the ear doctor. I'm looking forward to starting our life together, and laughing a lot along the way. The point of this blog is to be entertained. It is meant as nothing more than that...entertainment!

Here's a bonus, a new reader AND a comment all in one, JACKPOT!
I know exactly how you feel. Over a year ago in March of 2008, I came home from vacation and got laid off the very day our plane landed from Hawaii. I wasn't so sad to leave the actual job per se, but I was despondent over leaving my work friends. They were incredible and I still count it as the best job I ever had, thanks largely to the people I had around me.
Since then, many babies have been born, a few more lay offs, people moved out of state... I like to tell myself that it all happened because I left first. No one could bear working there without me, right? Right.
Hey Katie! I actually just forwarded your post on to some very good work friends who I miss dearly! I'm glad I'm still friends with all of them, but I miss that day-to-day fun!! :-(
Do you still have the craft? It belongs on this website:

I feel your pain. I am in the process of settling in to a new position myself, and I keep doing an unconscious mental search for my former work posse so that I can share funny/inappropriate/noteworthy stories.
For lo, being the new kid sucketh mightily.
My work friends are starting to pass away. People in our lives is what makes it fun.
