I learned a new word today -- eleemosynary: of, related to, pr supportive of charity
Also, I was talking to someone at work about how had trouble finding a job, and my boss (Gary) and his boss (Chris) came in laughing, and shared a heart warming story:
The interns and the attorneys all went out last year for happy hour. None of the interns were really excited because we weren't sure what we were doing sitting around and being social with real adults. (Yes, even at 23-26, we all still feel like we are different from those people who have jobs and are finished with school.) So, we went and sat around and chatted, and it was ok. But, after a while, everyone was ready to go. I actually think I was supposed to be somewhere, but had scheduled to be there after this work outing. So, all the interns were asking me how we should leave. And, I said, "well, I suppose we just get up to leave." I stood up to leave, and all the other interns followed suit. Chris asked me if we were leaving already, to which I apparently replied, "Well, I thought this was supposed to be happy hour."
Although it's funny now, I'm glad that I had the time to re-win them over. Otherwise, I would have left a poor impression.
