Workin' the work.

I really like seeing how people work in their respective job environments. Job shadowing just about anybody is a highly interesting activity for me. I am not entirely sure why but I can postulate a few reasons.

1. It is interesting because I like to see behind the scenes, so to speak, and watching people work really gives me that sense of illumination about things I could only guess at beforehand.

2. You tend to learn about the character of a person through how he or she functions in his or her position. In a way, it is like improving my relationship with that person, no matter the sort of relationship we have already developed. Even if it is merely on an acquaintance sort of level.

3. It kinda feels like mini-spying. Who doesn't think it's fun to spy? Not me, that's who!

So, I should try to job shadow more often just for the good times like these, if for no other reason. And there are, of course, many other reasons anyway. At least, that is how I see it.
