Yesterday I had my first follow up appointment, 2 weeks after back surgery. This morning I took a note in to my place of work. I walked through my area, only seeing one or two heads look up, to my supervisor's desk. After chatting with him briefly I walked back through to leave. It made me kind of sad. I wanted to stop and talk to people but, when it comes right down to it, no one really cares. There was a time and a (different) place where my workmates were some of my best buds. Several of us would meet up outside of work and even vacation together. Where I am now there are some very nice people but no one I trust completely or really even want to know better, anymore. They all care about themselves mostly, and I can't blame them for that, I guess. This is the third time I've been out for surgery in the last year so I have noticed this before, but it still makes me kind of sad and I know I will be a more closed, superficial person with them when I do go back to work.*
*Exceptions may be Cindy the guard and Keelan the receptionist, the two whom I've always talked with the most.
