A Sad Day at Work

I just can't shake off this feeling of being completely out of place today. It's not like I hate my job or anything; it's okay, I guess, but the thing is, I feel like nobody notices me at all. Today was especially bad because one of my coworkers brought in their new puppy and everyone was so excited to see it, except for me. The puppy just made me think about how much I want a pet but can't because my apartment doesn't allow them. And you know what's funny? I saw this one girl staring at the puppy, looking like she wanted it more than anyone else. But then she realized her boss was watching and quickly tried to look busy on her phone. It made me feel better knowing that even she had moments when she just wanted something simple but couldn't have it either. And here we are, both in our little bubbles of not fitting in at work, hoping someone notices us for once.
