Each year I challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone. Last year, I tried commuting to work on public transportation. I figured it would be my contribution to being “green”. I am still using public transportation each day. I was actually one of the first people to ride in the new Rancho Cordova Van, which drops me off right in front of the office. I love it! My goal for this year is to try and be more talkative. I am a relatively quiet person, and not the first to initiate conversation. I would like to be more comfortable doing so. I tried it this week and had surprising results.

While riding the van this week, I asked the driver how she is enjoying the new route and if she noticed any trends(this is the second week.) She told me that she has seen a few more people than last week. She said that she is dropping off a couple of people at the same stop that I use every time she makes her route. She asked where I worked. When I told her that it was VSP, her reply was. “Oh WOW! That is a great company. I only hear great things about them” I was instantly filled with pride by her response. I sat and thought about it, and a great big smile came to my face. I realized that she is dropping off my coworkers all morning long. My personal challenge helped to remind me that I work for a company that does its part for the environment and so does its employees. How cool is that?

Very Cool!!
