Now that I've rejoined the working society temporarily, I find it fun to look forward to Friday, even though it was only my second day of work yesterday. Ending half an hour early is exciting, thinking of the weekend is even more exciting! I thoroughly enjoyed lunch with rach and hl, I wonder how many people click with their colleagues like that. It makes me wish hl weren't leaving at the end of the month.
What makes people click? Is it complementary personalities? The willingness to open up and chat without so much reservation? Or it's simply a matter of fate and chemistry which we have no control over? There are some people whom you'll feel comfortable chatting with instantly, and others whom you have to force yourself to chat with, and try to keep a distance from, and squirm when your personal space is invaded. Coming back to work has been very good for me, the chemistry all around must have been excellent, because I'm keeping top-grade company. I find that people can be drawn out of their shells if the feeling is right, and somehow chatting becomes automatic, without losing the fun factor. Even seemingly shy people will throw off their mantle of hesitance and awkwardness, then chat as though they're old friends. It's not everyday I find someone whom I click with instantly, and will go to when I'm bored to sit on a stool by her feet, lean against the cupboard and chat.
I'm drawn to people who're chatty with warm personalities. These make them so much more approachable, and the lure of making a friend whom I'm likely to want keep is irresistable. Work is good - so far. :) I hope that time won't reveal so much negativity that I lose this good feeling I'm having now.
All righty, I need to sleep soon. All that exercise you put me through has made me rather tired. ;p
