As I sit in an office doing tedious numerical ordering of claims no one is ever going to look up, I look around me at the office atmosphere. The people I'm working with are really cool, but they're all contractors. The real office staff are weird. They had a party yesterday and specifically didn't invite us temps or contractors to share in the cake and other goodies. As if the 7 of us would eat it all. But it didn't make me angry, it just made me think that they are boring people with boring lives. So mundane that they get their rocks off by randomly putting down people hired to help them. It made me even more determined to get a job not partitioned off in a cubicle, surrounded by petty politics. It would be easy to lose perspective and get absorbed in the day to day silliness.
The cool thing is that I felt like I didn't belong to that. Like at any time I could get away and do something interesting. That I had options. But sitting there in the cubicle surrounded by mediocrity, I wondered about the environmental impact of that atmosphere. Am I less interesting just by being there?
