I've finally cleared all the old entries so I can have a clean start - though the layout is still rather glitch-y.
I had a really good feeling yesterday that I don't think I've felt before. Last Christmas, I took part in the Kris Kringle at work. I had to get something for a workmate that I didn't know at all except for the random hellos/how-are-yous when we walk past each other.
Anyway recently, I don't know how, but somehow we got to the stage where we can hold a conversation - and this is someone at least 15~20 years older than I am. It could also be because he transferred to this new role, which placed him closer to where I sit, hence the conversations since we see each other around the office more. But still, I have found it somehow more difficult to hold a proper conversation with anyone at least 10~15 years older than I am at work. There are a few exceptions, and I mean very few, but it really does feel like they are on a different level in terms of lifestyle, opinions, interests, etc.
Anyway, back to my Kris Kringle story. So I was working on something with him at his temporary desk yesterday and I noticed something vaguely familiar sitting on the desk, next to his laptop. A tea flask - which was part of the tea set I got from T2 (a tea shop) as his Kris Kringle gift. I went a little over the budget given, which was $10. But seriously, I couldn't think of what to buy with a $10 budget?
But what I felt at that moment was something I can't put into words. There was a whole heap of emotions - all positive of course. I know it is nothing huge, but the whole thing just moved me in some way. Enough to note it in an entry, at least. |
