CP is in PG County.

Cool, thanks!

No judgement. Where do you even get retail film rolls, and are there local labs or do you have to mail them out to be developed?

Do you develop it yourself? Are they retail film rolls or do you get it in bulk and load it yourself?

That might be a big component of it. I remember a workplace engagement survey included a question about having a “best friend” at work. And I don’t know that I could think of any coworkers that I’d want to hang out with outside of work, aside from the guys I used to work with back when I started. Let alone someone I’d consider a “best friend.”

Could you elaborate? Not really sure what work I could get done being somewhere “awesome.”

I don’t do anything social with coworkers.

I try to find fun things to do with my kids, and luckily my oldest is getting to the age where we can try to get into games/hobbies together. Recently we’ve started playing Pokémon (the trading card game) and Dungeons & Dragons (the tabletop roleplaying game) together.

I would love to have this kind of excitement and enthusiasm at my job.

When I first started working out of college I got to work mostly with other younger guys and we got to work outdoors (on radar towers). I definitely had moments like this where something worked out just right, or we did something spectacular.

These days I am at a desk/computer and I think people in similar positions typically get excited about getting contract awards, bearing sales forecasts, or other stuff that I’m not really into.

In an alternate universe with dark humor Sesame Street, Super Grover is called to the aftermath of the embassy explosion and the whole alphabet is strewn across the rubble.
