A couple weeks ago, one of my coworkers, Tsutsui-san, invited me to an photography exhibit where some of her work was on display. All I really did was show up, but she was really nice to me about it. She gave me some cream puffs on the day of the event to take home and share with my family, then she followed up with more snacks at the office the following week, and now she sent me this picture she took of me standing in front of one of her prints. 

Naturally, there’s a measure of give and take in all working relationships, but so far I think I’ve been taking more and giving less, comparatively. (I have also been relying heavily on her—and many other people at the office, thank you all!—to get settled in this new job.) As my work and family life starts to settle into more regular patterns, I’ll have to think of ways to give back to all the people at the office who have been helping me out so much. 

For the time being, I hope my heartfelt gratitude will suffice. Thanks Tsutsui-san—and everyone else!
