My fortune cookie at lunch today read:

The smart thing to do is not be your self. (sic)

Sort of uncalled-for, no?

That is one cold fortune cookie! Sheesh.

I was just talking to someone at work about just this sort of thing. I told her that I knew there were some people here who think I am just *too weird* to talk to or have anything to do with. I told her that I am here to do a job and that if I make friends or don't make friends with people there it wasn't my first priority. If they like me enough to talk to me great, if they don't, as long as I can still work with them then great. I was told my hair was too wild (You know me and my spikes) and I think several of them here would not know what to do with themselves if they new I was pagan. But I told her that I am not going to be someone I am not, just for these people. It's not worth it. I will be kind, and I will be decent but I will not be *not me* just so they can feel better.

Wow... that was kinda ranty, huh?

reminds me of a button i once saw:

"I'm not feeling myself today. Maybe I'm you."

Hmm...

Once you get past the cold nature of it, I believe there are times when it can be wise to withhold normal behavior. A "choose your battles" kind of thing. *Not* that I would advocate this on a regular basis, but maybe it's forewarning you about a particular situation that maybe you wouldn't normally handle very well? 95% of the time, I would just say that everyone else can just deal with it, but maybe you have a 5% moment coming up? Just a thought.
(I hope this came out right, btw. I like you. I really do.) ;)

Wrong Location??

lol, I can't help but imagine a fortune cookie company purposefully placing helpful messages marked for US Shipment: destination: White House: Oval Office. Considering how Bush has been doing I wouldn't be surprised if he has been taking advice from cookies all along anyway. Or maybe someone just didn't read the "Prank" label on the box before handing them out; anyway, It gave me an oppotunity to work in a Bush beating.
