  Because I like the fact that the basis of the work here is upon environmental maintenance & preservation, for the peoples. Because I work with interesting people: * Because I work with an older black man who teaches me black hippy slogans from the 60's that I would likely otherwise have never heard, like "B!B!
BANG! BANG! UNGAWA! BLACK POWER! " * Because I work(ed) with a young girl who was in 2 south central gangs in her early teens and only got jumped out because she got pregnant and didn't want her child subjected to flying bullets and so forth. She taught me how to throw gang signs and she'd get mad at me when I'd practice while we'd walk down the street to lunch. So we started our own gang, CxPx13 (capital projects 13) and my gang name was casper 'cause I am so white and she's lonely girl 'cause she's so outgoing ...and 'another secretary' is in our gang, loca, 'cause she's so funny.
* Because of another secretary who used to work here but transferred but still sends me reams of funny e-mails and she understands that you don't buy things unless "they speak to you" and she too has a sense for epicurean things. * Because the chief is a gourmet chef and he brings in breakfast foods that are in higher quality that most top-notch restaurants (yes, they feed me too). *Because environmental magnet type jobs attract those types of minds and I learn about other health conscious things from the people around me as well. Ciao!
