new year at work, 1.6.25

today, was my first day back at work. i arrived in the morning to hella emails and hella teams messages. outside of that, it was a great day at work. i saw my guy rob and was too excited. we hugged each other and asked how our break was. i skipped lunch and went to the gym with schuni. though we saw each other last friday, we still caught up on his nyc trip amongst other things. after lunch, i checked more emails and realized i had one from a coworker who had their last day before the break! the email was so kind-hearted. it caught me off guard, but i’ll miss working with them. i ended the day hanging with sujeet in the cafe. he went to india over the break and got married. i saw pictures of the wedding and it made me so happy for the both of them. life is a beautiful thing, more so when you have love in it. i know i spend a lot of time talking about my disdain for my job, but many people there have become like family to me. it balances things out because i know some of these relationships will last longer than my tenure there will, so i’m trying to be more positive about my experience working in biotech before the music and the writing takes off. it’s got me thinking if it’s possible to miss what you had when you get what you want.

i guess we’ll find out when it’s time to cross that bridge.
