6 Degrees of Separation

I come in contact with a minimum of 300 people per week, and granted, this is through all different mediums. Telephone, e-mail, fax, in person, you name it I’ve done it today. I’d like to call this my 6 degrees of separation via the office. When I talk to one person, that person is a roommate of someone I have a class with, this person is friends with a friend of a friend in my Howdy Ags Organization (Whoop), and in great instances like tonight, they are the referees of my intramural volleyball game, and subsequently T. and I kicked some serious “Underwood” bum. My point is that in a town like College Station, the old adage “it’s a small world” is eerily accurate. Everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows you. For all intents and purposes, you could actually view my office as the Officers of a fraternity/sorority. We know the business of everyone’s living arrangments, we know if they have a dog, cat, fish, lizard, and we even know when they’re illegal. So really, we know a lot about everyone who lives at the complex! There are 826 people living at the complex this year, currently, and I have come in contact with many of them daily. Not just in the office mind you. The girls who live in 1734 frequently see me at the bus stop. A guy in 1111 hooked me up with some great seats for the football game, thanks again! Even a girl who came to get a package that she thought we lost, is in the class I began this blog for. So they’re everywhere. Best example lately has to go to the girl I saw tonight. She lives in 313, and was the referee for my volleyball game tonight. During warm up, I ask T. if this girl lives at our complex, and she says she doesn’t know. However, I’m not convinced. I get to the referee to do the coin toss, and she asks me if she knows me. Yes. You do. You live at the ^$@!^! don’t you? Yes! “Oh girl, I’ve been meaning to come up to your office to talk to y’all about some stuff…” Then going into an explanation of what her issues are. It seems as though the company ink is trailing to my volleyball games now…
