My Peeps

I love to watch the people I work with. Quite often I stand back and watch these crazy people from a distance. They think I don't pay attention because "I'm not watching" or because "I'm not there with them", but they'd be surprised just how much I see, how much I hear, how much I know about each of them. They think I don’t pay attention when in reality my entire focus is on them. They don’t see the smile on my face when my head is down, buried in paperwork and they’re being silly, or my raised eyebrows behind the computer monitor when they’re out of line just enough for me to not have to interfere.

I’m proud to say they are all brave and they protect many, even though they are few. They take the nature of their job for granted. They think it’s easy, at times monotonous because they do the same thing day in and day out. What they fail to realize is that they are the cream of the crop; the job is easy and at times monotonous because they are that good at what they do. What they forget, that I never forget is that every day, their job in reality is not easy or mundane but full of life or death decisions. I thank God every day that they are that good.

I thank God every day for the proud feeling I feel as I walk out of the building, by their side, listening and laughing, on the way to our cars at the end of another successful day.

I look forward to going to bed at night because I look forward to meeting up with this great group of people again in the morning. You see my day is never easy or monotonous; the unique nature of each of these individuals keeps me busy from beginning to end.

They have no idea how much they’re appreciated, cared about, or sincerely loved. Because I’m their Supervisor and that’s just the way it is.

Every day they help me to experience the colors of the rainbow and allow me the luxery to be able to love my job. Every day I wonder what it is that I can do for them in return.
