Meditation Day 25 – 0
Day 34?
To the distribution center, 35 minutes away from Sea Point where I got the opportunity to work with awesome colleagues.
I am grateful to everyone who made me feel welcome. Thanks Riaan, the team lead who opened up your office space and your team to me. To Miles who always kept me informed of office days and invited me to engage in silly conversations. To Deon, who always bought me lunch, saving me from having to make decisions and bringing a putter and golf balls for us to have a bit of fun. To Hassan who brought me a pair of house slippers when I mentioned it once. Who also told me I look even younger than a month ago when he last saw me. To Tanya who showed me around, especially the women’s bathroom. To the security guards who recognized me and let me in through the gates. To the lovely cafeteria lady who made me the most delicious chicken fingers and fries.
Spending few days a week with this team showed me the importance of loose connections. Having a place of work with colleagues to have tea and lunch with. Not exactly friends, nor acquittances. Something in the middle, familiar and kind.
I am not sure when I will see them again, as they are moving to Gardens office, where I am not yet welcome! I invite them to meet me for lunch when they move over. To letting go and saying goodbye. Until we meet next time!
