Random Act of Gratitude #16: Lunch Table Laughter

My workplace has a small staff. There's nowhere to hide if you don't get along with your co-workers. Thankfully, my coworkers are quite enjoyable people.

Today, during the lunch break, someone outside of the staff arrived early for a meeting and sat down with us while we ate and chatted. I'm sure she thought we were nuts, but that's fine.

We have a long history (which predates most of the current staff) of laughing more than is probably necessary at the lunchroom table. Today is was (largely) Amber who was telling amusing stories about her life (and revealing more, perhaps, than is wise about her personality) and she had us laughing aloud at her shenanigans. (It was suggested, once again, that I should consider writing a sitcom about her life). Stories or just conversations, our topics run the gamut and, more often than not, we have a daily fix of amusement in the process.

How nice to have that type of atmosphere around a lunch table at work.
