#51: Friday Fun Lunch

Last year my colleagues and I started a tradition of going out to lunch together on Fridays, and (as best we could) refraining from talking about work. We would instead talk about our personal lives, which so often plays second-fiddle to teaching. It was always a nice release and bonding time. Unfortunately our schedule changed this year, and we lost the ability to leave the building during the day. But last week we resurrected Friday Fun Lunch by ordering in, and today we did it again. I work with truly wonderful people, who are unbelievably supportive colleagues. I am thankful for Friday Fun Lunch, and the ability to take the time to be reminded that they are also great friends.
