On Gig Economy Friendships

The perils of gig economy: you could work with people for years and never know them. Could I tell you my boss’ default coffee order? My office manager’s favorite color? Probably not, but I try to learn the best I can from our usual Thursday meetings.

“I like being here… I just don’t like the drive that much,” I admit, as I stand with a sigh and gather my backpack and lunch bag. Is putting off that commute the reason I keep lingering? Or is it because now I am busy curiously listening, watering those little seeds of new friendship?
