since my office is right next to the break room..(literally, we share a wall)..i always hear the random banter that goes on between people in the office. it's funny because i think to myself, "wow, they're having a really 'grown up' conversation right now..is that what im going to be talking about when i get older too???" siiigh..notable topics so far include:
-the weather: yesterday, today, tomorrow, last year, this weekend..
-the holiday season
-buying gifts
-vacation adventures and mishaps
-their childrens' events
-doctor's appointments
-sports teams/games--my favorite!
-the giants...and of course, the world series--courtesy of james lol always
-lunch--these take me back to kindergarten days..."so what'd you/your mom pack in your lunch pail this morning?"
-food in general
-the desserts that butu brings for the office
-leftover food from our public meetings
-tea, different kinds
-coffee and coffee making
-being tired
-washing dishes
-outfits..blouses :/
-recent events
-politics
-elections
-random gossip
-transportation projects and programs
-grants
-panda express
-getting married
-weddings
-buying houses
-having kids
-pregnancies
-children having the flu
oh my, the list goes on.....i guess the days of talking about cute boys, hooking up, and what we plan to do after school are no longer a part of my daily conversations...
this kinda makes me sad but last night when i talked to my boyfriend about credit scores, buying a house and moving in together..i realized that: i. am. right. there. right there, right at the brink of having 'grown up' conversations along with everyone else (mind you, i am at least 10 years younger than everyone in the office) whoa, what a realization.
