Simon was being nostalgic last night about his time crewing the Beetlejuice show last month. He couldn't really articulate why, but on further questioning, a lot of it had to do with being part of a group of people who put on the show. It was a sense of belonging and contributing to something bigger than any one person.
I have that in common with Simon, because I think that's what I get most out of work. It's pretty weird that I don't talk to my team everyday, though we do have a group chat that we occasionally check-in on. Even in remote situation, the truth is that there's a lot of social enablement in the workplace.
I do hope that Simon eventually gets another opportunity to work a show like that, and I hope that whatever work he eventually gets into, he gets to experience that kind of team environment. I know that making friends isn't easy for him (or for me, for that matter), but those situations can definitely open doors.
