Webster defines co-worker as:

n

a fellow worker; associate

synonym

colleague

 

I define co-worker as:

 

Someone you see every day.  Someone who shares a printer, water cooler, and boss with you. Someone you help and someone who helps you.  Someone who knows if you are in an bad mood and can lift you up with a few simple words of kindness.  Someone who is truly interested in what you did over the weekend and how your dog is doing.  Someone who turns their music up a tad louder than normal so you can hear.  Someone who invites you to do things outside of work.  Someone who brings you socks so you can go walking over lunch. Someone who knows how you take your coffee.

 

Someone who has turned into a friend.

 

Hopefully, most of you can relate to my definition of co-worker in one way or another.  I am lucky enough to work with a whole department full of these wonderful people!

 

 

Today's Starfish

 

One of my cubicle neighbors, Angie, and I share a love for coffee.  Not just any coffee - Caribou, Starbucks, you name it.  The warmth, the smoothness.  The caffeine and the taste.  The lattes, mochas, skinny drinks and Americana. The extra shots and the mugs and the delicious aroma. Yum Yum Yummmm.  There is nothing like a marvelous cup of coffee to start off your morning..... or for lunch........ or for a nice evening treat.

 

If Angie is running early and has time to get coffee, she texts me to see if I am interested.  Am I interested?  HELLO have you met me!  And vice versa if I am running early or sneak to Starbucks on my lunch break.

 

For today's thank you, I am writing to Angie to thank her for getting me coffee today (and numerous other days!).  It was a nice way to start a cold, windy Monday.  And she didn't HAVE to get me a coffee.  She didn't HAVE to think of me, take the time to send me a text and ask what I wanted.  But she did.
