What is it about wine and cheese?

By no means is my office unfriendly.

But many who work here want to be somewhere else, somewhere with their feet up and a Corona in hand.

Yesterday, a leap was taken and unconventional office behaviour brought the Coronas to work.

It was the first ever Wine and Cheese Social. This was a social innitiative put together by the executive. They wanted to ensure everyone on all three floors had an opportunity to shake eachother's hand.

Being not from this 'world' I thought it would be one of the most awkward experiences I would ever have to face. But a glass of white wine in my left makes everything alright, it's like a green camoflauged helmet. It allows myself, the imposter to comfortably mix in.

After glass three the camoflauge couldn't hold up to my true colours. This of course is a good thing. I realized as the suits swelled their wine and nibbled on crab cakes that I'm more or less pretty interesting to them.

My education and hometown maybe nothing they've heard about but that makes it something to talk about. And their lives of weekend golf games, 4 bedroom homes and brand new cars (with room for their babies of course) is hardly a bore to hear about.

They're somewhere my life may or may not bring me to. The not knowing is what makes it exciting.
