Reflections on the surreal nature of my first ‘real’ job
So, that was one thing I had to learn when I was just starting out as an office drone: What people say isn’t always what they mean, even if those people are you. Another thing I had to understand: An office is an artificial construct with certain rituals, some obvious, others less so.
In my previous jobs — busboy, dishwasher, delivery driver — I’d always been busy. There was always something required of me and I knew when and how to do it. When a table had dirty dishes on it, I cleared them. When dishes came sliding down the metal chute in my steam-filled corner of the kitchen, I washed them. When all the packages were ready, I loaded them into a vehicle and delivered them.
And unlike with my white apron, my paper hat and my rubber gloves, thoughts couldn’t be left in my locker at work when I clocked out each evening.
