When was the last time you had a genuine conversation?

It's odd. I often see the people I work with as just my coworkers. Especially last year. At my summer job, there aren't the most high end of people. Last year I just saw them as the people I worked with were simply "at work people". I didn't converse with them about anything outside of work, or barely while I was at work, for that matter. This year however, things are different. There are very few people who returned and those of us who did feel as though we have to band together to take on the newbies.

One particular other employee and I have gotten very close. We talk everytime we are on a shift together, we immediately enter into a conversation, most often it's not about work, but instead about something completely different that we care about. Our families, our lives, anything. This morning we had the greatest conversation about simply nothing. It's lovely to have a conversation with someone and actually be able to know that the conversation is not only fun but really truly worthy. It's nice to go to work and have a meaningful conversation, especially where my job can be so crappy at times and extremely boring.

Having the ability to have a conversation at work with someone is beautiful. I adore it.
