There are two girls in particular that I was watching during this game. One of them was looking at the sky and wondering if it was going to rain soon. When the ball went by, she saw it and then her face registered recognition. You could just tell that she was thinking, “Uh oh, I think it was my turn to kick the ball. Oh, well. Someone else has it now.”

Your Boss & Co-Workers Are Not Your Family

I don’t know where this concept began but I suspect it happened with television. Any show you watch today the characters have each other’s back and are more supportive than one’s own family. The reason is television shows don’t have a budget for additional actors so they try to write around the cast of the show. In real life no matter how much you like your job and how much it pays, it is still a job. When you work for someone you provide a service, for which you are paid simply that.

Every time I hear someone say the company they work for is like family, personally, I want to barf. You know you are family if you can borrow money without paying it back, don’t come to work for 10 days straight and still have a job or leave everyday after lunch.

I have worked in some of the best and worse of environments. I have loved many of the jobs and on one rare occasion I liked all of the people who worked there but it was still a job. I had a career but I worked at a job.
