Steinbeck wrote about each of us having a question we spend our whole lives trying to answer. With co-workers this season I feel like the question or demand of their soul is coming accross louder than anything they actually say to me.
Counselor 1 "I am the best."
Counselor 2 "Take care of me."
Counselor 3 "I am likeable and beautiful."
Boss "I want to have fun!"
Secretary "You will respect me."
The consistency of the messages is a little overwhelming, and I don't understand why I pick up on this more clearly with colleagues than with friends.
Today I tackle the big project of Christmas shopping for my family. Where do you find the gift that says I know you, I understand you're into all things conservative, I made an effort to buy upper class gifts from a middle class perspective, and is light & small enough to take on the plane without lugging along a 2nd bag? I hope Macy's. Best of luck to you friends in your shopping endeavors.
