Oh me and the bluest color of my collar ;)

Have a little chat with my best friend on Christmas-day. It continued with a grand planning to make an art program through a whatsapp's discussion yesterday. It is exhilarating for sure, especially remembering the last three months of my activity was revolved around a very timid-routinely job. But (I gotta say, it's a big "but" indeed) being in a blue collar job somehow leisured me in so many ways. And to compare the things I've gone through for about 4 years back, my current job seems a bit more blue collar-y than my encounter a few years a go. I mean, I've been doing lots and lots of illustration work for years. Both working with clients as an independent illustrator, or working in an office environment (such as today), but nowadays, I've found a new taste to the job.
If I wanna put my point of view, say in a social-culturally kind of research, I'll say this job gives you a bunch more of materials to be observed. Not that I see my co-workers as mere analysis materials, I only find that there are interesting dynamics which is familiar as well as alien in this environment. And in a way it represent the major dynamics in our society, so I somehow found myself as a part of something which is usual. I'm part of the normative society, in which, at the same time I can be the observer as well as the participating component.
I've seen different personas, up-close and personal. Mingle with them--somewhat intimately (as intimate as a coworkers went)--and learn their dreams and goals, and event their penchant to self-help books. It is the majorities, and from this very point of view is very much interesting. In humorous manner, I find myself as a cameraman of that american comedy show: "The Office". At first, I see this blue-collar job of mine as a meditative action after the emotional crash I experienced a few months prior. But heck, now I finds it as a very interesting "sport" :D.
My friend plans out this thing for me--an art event of someshort--and I think to make this office-thingy as a research material would be the awesomest idea! :D
Me: paints my collar as bluest as it can be. Enjoying the routine and the assurance of being okay at the end of each months... Yeah this is how most of homo sapiens in this planet functions and feels :D
