In the middle chapters of The Little Prince, the mysterious little boy journeys to other planets in his strange, tiny galaxy. He makes visits with a king, a vain man who wants to be admired, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer. Each of the interactions leaves the Little Prince more and more puzzled. Why do each of these men spend so much time counting stars, lighting the same lamp over and over, and making maps that no one will ever see? "Grown-ups are certainly very very strange." he says. In October of the year I did the sheep project, I started a new job, and I felt a bit like the Little Prince visiting his strange planets. Even though I was working at a brewery and there was a steady stream of brewers carrying pitchers of beer by my desk, it was the most corporate environment I had worked in. There were a lot of phrases like "gross margin" and GL codes and a mysterious corporate ladder fit for climbing. Compared to the private school where I had spent the previous five years, this was quite a change. For the first few weeks, I kept the sheep project quiet. I didn't want my new coworkers in this serious new job to think I was absolutely ridiculous. After a few weeks, though, I was desperate for sheep. I asked several coworkers all in one afternoon, answering lots of questions about the project. And here's the good news: none of them thought I was absolutely ridiculous (maybe only slightly so). I also learned, thankfully, that people are more dimensional than their jobs, even if they do use the phrase "gross margin" in regular conversation. Unlike the cast of characters The Little Prince meets on his interplanetary journey, I quickly realized that my coworkers had interesting lives outside of our corporate 9-5 ones. They were journalists and moms and homebrew enthusiasts. And they were crazy enough to draw sheep for their new, strange coworker. Work Sheep October 28: Nick, the homebrewer who held the company record for the highest score on the Cicerone test. October 29: Bill, who once stood by my desk for 45 minutes sampling all the flavors in a 5-pound box of chocolate one of the vendors sent during the holidays. October 30: Anna, a sassy and amazing amazing mom whom I bonded with over the next year during 2:30 tea time in the Graphics room. October 31: Gabriel, a follow English major who edited an online news and opinion publication for Jewish students.
