I've had my fair share of jobs for the time that I've had to have jobs....Whatever my point is that I've worked for more than one company and navigated through more random co-worker relationships than some. Through all that I've done; working with children, working with adults who act like children and working with dogs who act like...well dogs, I've come to realize that no matter what stage of life you are in or where you work there is something about what life was like in middle school that is still true and applicable to where you're at now. Remember that one person in middle school who thought it was funny to drop their backpack on you while you tried to open your locker? Well they are probably now that one coworker who thinks it's okay to complain about how everyone's stuff is in their way. Or that one kid who always hated every teacher? Well they're probably the guy that always complains about their boss now. Basically once you hit middle school you never leave. You move on to other places and other people but the issues are the same. And while that seems really depressing keep in mind that some of the silly things followed us out of middle school too. Take for example Taco Bell's "Five Buck Box." Just TRY ordering that without sounding like a chicken;
"Hi Welcome to Taco Bell how can I help you?"
"Yes, I'll have the Five buck box."
"I'm sorry what was that?"
"The FIVE BOCK BOCS!!!"
(Boc...Moo? How does that sound like a chicken?)
( Wait...those aren't even chickens....I don't get it)
So the next time you feel like you're stuck in middle school just remember there are some people who never grow up and act like adults and there are some people who never grow up and act like adults who work for advertisement companies and get stupid slogans stuck in your head. And if you want to act like a middle school kid then please choose to be the goofy kind of adolescent adult and not the mean kid that no one wants to be around.

Wow, I was just today thinking about how my first year in dental school has similarities to my first year of high school. STILL?!
Hm.... in middle school I was the girl who got her head stuck in her locker... and I was still hiding in lockers in Basic Training to get a bit of privacy. I'm sure there are deeper middle school connections for me, but that was the first one that popped into my mind. : )
I was the girl who got gum put in her hair. I think I meant this to be funnier but I must not have been very creative that day =p
