Try not to be too jealous either, ok?
The last time I was at a 9-5-ish type job, I was there for years, and people either really liked me or really did not like me, there was rarely a person that would say “hmm, Shazia? She’s ok… I’m not really sure how I feel about her”... It seems I am having the same type of effect on the people here!
I love people that are genuinely nice, I do, because I feel like there are very few really nice people in the world, and also because I could never, ever, no matter how much I try, be one of those nice people. It’s very sad. You guys think I’m nice right?? (Please say yes!) In real life though… not so nice! But I totally love when people appreciate my “mean-ness”, seriously, it brings me much joy! And I love it even more when people can respond to my mean-ness in kind… those people are hard to come by!
I feel like I did find my soulmate here though, and she is awesome! She’s so awesome in fact, that I think “I am awesome” might be written on her resume, right under “I am humble”. It’s really hard to explain her full “awesomeness”, but I will share some of our emails with you, so you can get an idea of why she I think she’s so awesome…
Awesome girl to me:“You are mean and judgmental!”
Me to Awesome girl:
“Isn’t it mean and judgmental to call someone mean and judgmental???”
Awesome girl to me:
“No… In my case I’m so awesome it’s just being honest.”
Me to Awesome girl:
“hahahaha… that was pretty funny!”
Awesome girl to me:
“I know right!
I’m terribly witty… Don’t be jealous, OK.”
Me to Awesome girl:
“i gotta leave, but if i didn’t then surely i would be able to think of something witty-er to say! for sure!!!”
Awesome girl to me:
“Too bad… I was waiting looking forward to being entertained by your spectacular wit but, alas, you are not here!
Now I will be sad all day :(”
And so goes my day… we REALLY enjoy our lunch breaks!
*I totally got Awesome girl’s approval to post this! (In case anyone was wondering)
