I'll say something positive

I’ve now officially worked at this place longer than anywhere else I’ve ever worked, and although I’ve never developed the bonds here that I developed at the HEP or the mall (I’m presuming you know what I’m talking about, though you probably don’t), there is a collection of people here with whom I have developed a bond that can only be developed over several years. Particularly when I change departments every year, they never see me as “the contract guy” because last year I was “the admin guy” and the year before that I was “the group guy,” so eventually they just know me as me. The luxury of that being that I can talk to them in a way that I don’t talk with anyone else—not with day-to-day colleagues, not with friends, not with clients, certainly not with family.

I know that if I leave this place, I’ll never talk to these people again. So if nothing else, that’s one thing that makes this job worth keeping.
