Square Peg

In this world, there are a lot of square pegs trying to find the right spot to fit in to.  Trying to find a place to kick back and feel totally comfortable with the shapes around them.  Perhaps, a place where everyone just knows your name is enough...

You have to wonder what is the price you are paying to be here.  What part of yourself do you want people to see?  Do you hide all your edges? Are you showing us the real you or the one you have made up to be better than you truly are?

 I would like to step upon my soapbox and spout the truth of who I am but you must know, I am only a shell of who I choose to show you and very few ever really get to glimpse the whole of me.

What is your sacrifice?  What is MY sacrifice?  I have been thinking about this and I have to say living in an online world drags you away from the in-your-face reality of the real world.

 I am not saying that is a good or bad thing.  I am just saying the longer you are here the less time you spend there.  So, my sacrifice is TIME.  A precious commodity that you can never get back and only you can decide if it is worth it...

We are all flawed and the sooner learn this the better.  We are all trying to find our place.  We are all trying to fit in.  The trick is not to change who you are but to figure out how to put a square peg into a round hole~

Frustration

I haven't been online much this week because real life has a way of dragging you back in...

This has been a pretty crazy week for me but mostly because of a lack of communication with my boss.  I just realized that mind reading is a skill that my superior believes I possess but at las, I do not!

This has lead to a lot of frustrating moments for me because in a tug-a-war of who is right; the balance always tips to the one getting the higher paycheck.  The poorer one ends up re-doing everything to appease the God-like ego baring one.

I like efficiency and working smarter and not harder so I have to wrap my head around communicating with someone who does not say what they mean but always seems to have hidden meanings behind each and every syllable used.

And I have to ask, "Where is my decoder ring when I need it?"
