Employment

The people you work with are people you were just thrown together with. You know, you don't know them, it wasn't your choice, and yet you spend more time with them than you do your friends or your family. But probably all you've got in common is the fact that you walk around on the same bit of carpet for 8 hours a day.”  Tim Canterbury – The Office
