There is a lot of encouragement and a lot of positive attitude and those are the type of people you want to hang around with. They stay friends forever. It doesn't matter how you are educated, athletes don't throw around education. You can get your endorphins up and not worry about what everybody does professionally. I have a good sense of humor.
Life is too short to take it too seriously most of the time.
You can come to work and you can be engrossed in it, but you should remember to laugh at yourself every day. My office is kind of reflective of that. I try and keep things around that will make people laugh and wonder. Life is fun around here, it's busy and exciting but it is fun.
