Perhaps should of said work feels like high school. You have the cool kids, the rich kids, mean girls , the ones that just want to get thru the day. Being older I find no need for drama and myself just want to get my work done and go home. I talk to very few women at my work seems they have a belittling look on alot of people that are not them. You see I am a porter which some seem to be beneath them. Sad because I do have more education then most people I work with or around. But never wanted to flaunt it ,to me what seems insignificant. I talk to everyone pretty much the same way. I was the same way in the military. Sure higher ranks demanded respect , but that with humor goes a long ways.
I just wonder at times why at any age some find it or think it is their right of passage to belittle others or mistreat them because of their status quo . I actually have job offers starting out making alot more then those who are seemingly rude to me or others. I have done their factory job, I have helped setup presses and read blue prints. But find the job tedious and atm hotter then being a porter(AKA as house keeper ;) ) .
But all the knowledge in the world means nothing after all if you are not a disciple for Jesus. For this I will not think I am better no matter the job, education or status quo then fastfood workers, cashiers etc. I think the way to go thru life is to look at others thru God's eyes and see the heart. Just find these people or places seemingly like high school is all ;)
College for me was a blur...Socially I seemed to always be the best friend of a popular girl. Academically I couldnt tell you what I learned, other than I realised there were a few teachers that were winging it and most kids showed up to see their friends. I was usually asked to demonstrate in P.E and I got big headed and lazy in sports. My school reports always said the same thing..that I needed to apply myself more. I didnt even know what that meant til a decade later 🤷‍♀️ As for work resembling high school - I left school at 17 and my first job I learned to be confrontational with adults. That led to me being that way with my siblings. I was bullied twice at school but not by students, it was two teachers. But Ive calmed down a lot and really do make an effort to stay away from drama queens or be one myself.
