Another Side of the Workplace

Last year I was part of a survey that looked at why we women keep working, besides the obvious of course. It was determined that we enjoy the camaraderie as much as anything. My co-workers are not my best friends. Chances are if one left, we would not follow up on our relationship. But they are work friends and that is good just as it is. I like keeping up with these mostly women of various ages and backgrounds and we learn from and support each other. Today we had a shower for a nurse whose baby girl is due next month. My contribution to the party food was this healthy vegetable platter. We enjoyed the celebration, and the baby will have lots of pretty things when she comes into the world.
