New Friends

I am getting acclimated to the people that I work with, but the more I get to know them the more evident it becomes that these people will not be my new friends. Truth be told, I miss my old friends. I miss JJ,Jigga, Lotus, Seattle, and Cocoa.

I miss being able to just laugh and talk about things like Miley Cyrus' new haircut and how the new Guess ads are so chessy that they make you miss Anna Nicole. Mostly, I miss just being chill. I work with therapists, but virtually all of them are anxiety ridden. There is nothing quite likean edgy mental health worker. I mean, who doesn't want a twitchy ticking time bomb telling them how to get and keep their life together. That is not the point though.

The point is that I miss my friends. I miss Jigga's refusal to conform and "do better" and her willingness to laugh about it. I miss JJ Santan's ability to cut through all the crap and her "What!?!" face. I miss how Seattle always made me feel better about my shambles of a work life and her ability to be wildly inappropriate in the most subtle and amusing ways. I miss Lotus just being random. I miss Grumpy being his chipper self and telling me exactly what the problem is. I miss Cocoa's diva act because nobody pulls it off quite as well. Lastly, I miss Tresemme, who while being the newest was one of the funniest. I will admit to missing the hair, but he is more than his beautiful locks. He is a man so comfortable in his douchery that you not only overlook it, but you start to enjoy it. If he did not already have a name, I would call him Schmidt.

That brings me to my next point. They don't watch New Girl or Glee or Once and therefore can't understand most of what I want to talk about in my down time. I mean, really?

How am I supposed to work under these conditions!
