i work with my friends!

No, I still don't really know people here, but that's ok. They're all still friendly, and I've had a couple minor chats in-passing. I have hope.

I have been able to amuse myself, however, with the fact that there are at least a couple people in the office that look or sound like friends or people that I know. It makes things a little more familiar. The other new kid (he's been here close to a couple months, I think) His name is Michael, he looks a little like Mikey Caron (this is actually his wife Becky's site - dunno if he still has a blog) except his hair isn't that red. And he sounds a LOT like Lee Ferron. Voice intonations and everything, it's quite amusing. Then there's Tom who sits across the cubes from me. He doesn't look like anyone I know, but I wasn't paying attention the other day and I heard him on the phone and swore that Jon Carlson had started working in my office...

There's one of the admins that looks like someone I know but I have yet to place a name with the face, and another girl who looks a bit like my former roommate Kimmie, except with longer hair and a little bit taller.

So until I actually get to know people and make new friends, I guess it will have to do that I can associate some of my new coworkers with people I already know and pretend like things are a little more fun than they actually are (I never realized how enjoyable it is to break up a monotonous day by means of a pointless discussion with a coworker)...
