Swedish Fish

Today we were sitting in the cafeteria thinking about whether to get Swedish Fish or not and it made me realize how close we’ve become at SHM in such a small amount of time. For starters I USE TO HATE HATE HATE Swedish Fish, and now me and Sam have to buy two different packs (because we’re fat) but if you look at the timeline:

1) Sams buys fish
2) Sam eats fish
3) Sam offers fish to Emily
4) Emily Declines
5) Times 3 and 4 by 4 weeks…
6) Emily Accepts fish
7) Sam shares bag with Emily
8) Emily starts mooching off sam (day after day)
9) Emily finally realizes that Swedish Fish are her new favorite candy
10) Leading me back to today- two bags of fish.

I know this seems ridiculous- but I find it hilarious and realize the value of this story. Every day we all really rub off on each other- if someone is having a good day we are all in a generally good mood, if someone is upset we all feel bad. We’ve become a great support team and I find myself realizing that our machine is becoming better oiled than in the past. Work wise we are all generally there to help each other but we’re at the point where we don’t necessarily need each other as much.. YET, still going with my rubbing off on each other theme I’ve never said the word “Holler” so much..(thanks sam) or had as much honesty from someone (thanks I think Victoria?) haha I realize that I will never get excel if you are out vlam ..in which case I would be doing a spreadsheet for hours if it wasn’t for your awesome alt 99990000 tricks?! I think that the most important aspect to this whole thought is really about decision making and how we affect each other’s decisions. I feel that we all make up about 4 parts to a brain that we call EMSAVINA perhaps? Lately we’ve been on the same page and it’s really been making these days a lot easier! Soooo thanks everyone =)
