Happy Hug Day!!

Today is Hug Day! It started back in the 80's in the States. Now it has gone global. I think it has something to do with changing the world, one hug at a time.

I actually didn't know about it. I heard it this morning on the radio...

I could really use a hug right now. I've gone back into my depression cycle. But then again, if my boss were to come over and hug me, it would really freak me out.

I don't know what is it about a hug that makes you feel good inside... maybe it's because people put up walls when dealing with others... especially nowadays where everything can result in a charge of sexual harrasement. And when you get a hug, it feels like all those walls have been broken down... and you can fully appreciate the relationship.

But I don't mind receiving a hug... I don't go around hugging people because I don't want to be charged with sexual harrasment. Sad huh... what the world has become.

Amazingly, I work for a company where everybody hugs... heck the country GM signs of her emails (the informal ones anyway) with 'Hugs'... I fit in well into the culture, but not everybody can accept it. I've heard the new guys say that there's too much hugging in the company. I guess the way they were brought up, it's not something that is considered acceptable.

But those are only a few people...

Anyway, the 'hugging' culture in the company is part of why everybody in the company is so extremely friendly and helpful... I can call up anybody in the organisation and ask for help, and not only will they try their best, but they will talk to you like you have known each other for years... even though that is the first time you've ever spoken to each other.

I think every company should be like that. In fact everybody should be like that... world would be a better place... one hug at a time...
