Change

Why is change so difficult? For some people, like myself, getting a new cell phone is a huge deal. It's a change. My numbers look different. I have different back ground colors. I have to slide my phone a different way. The pictures come up from a different direction than before-- sideways instead of from the top.
This is obviously silly but, in any case, it still made me question why humans hate change so much. Not everyone struggles with it to the same degree or from the same reasons, but I don't think there is one human who doesn't struggle with it in some shape or fashion.
I believe it has a lot to do with control. And even though I know I don't have total control of anything, nor will I ever, I still get flustered whenever I am reminded of those hard facts. I think everyone does, actually.
Any thoughts?

A Misconception of April Fool's Day...

I have yet to talk about my workplace on here, so let me introduce you. I assume that we are all generally familiar with NBC's hit show, The Office? (Side note: I am not necessarily advocating The Office. There are episodes that I would not recommend and scenes that I choose to fast forward.) Anyway, imagine Steve Carell and the gang and you now understand my workplace.

Yesterday, some of my co-worker's brought a cake and passed around a birthday card for everyone to sign. Then, they proceeded to call everyone into the kitchen and sing "happy birthday" to one of our employees as they put a crown on her head and handed her the card. April Fool's, it's not your birthday?

Um...for the record, kids, that's not how April Fool's day works...
