Episode VI: Return of the Blog

Is Work the New School?

Let me explain. I am getting in to the elevator at work today, and who comes walking by, but three extremely pretty women. And when I say pretty, I mean like I did a double take. The women that I am talking about are co-workers, and people that I know who they are, and they know me...but barely...they know my name...but that is about it...they probably could not remember what dept. I am in to save their life. But I know where they are...ahhh to think of high school.

You see in high school I was not a poperly kid, I know that has to be a shock), but it is true. People liked me, people did not mind me...but I was the un cool kid...standing next to the wall, and quiet as a church mouse. No girls would talk to me...it was a bummer...flash forward to today, and I am back in high school...I am the dorky kid saying, "Hi Ladies...SNORT". and they are saying to me "Hi Chris", and not giving me another look...sigh...if I got out of the elevator, and a big mean kid gave me a wedgie walking to my car, it would be OPHS all over again. Thankful that did not happen. I left for lunch, undies in place, and went on my business.

It is funny how little events, take you back to a time in your life where you felt the most ackward, the worst...sometimes I smell things, or hears something that takes me back to a far away time...I am sure that all of you can appreciate that. It is strange to me to think about times that were so far away...but my memories are usually pretty good...and I go back at a moment notice at time.

Well, that is my thoughts for right now...but I will say that I am happy to be where I am right now...I love my friends...I love that I am not the dorky kid anymore. Hey, anyone want to go buy comic books?

For those who are interested, I survived Jacob's and my nephew's B-Day parties...still crazy...but lucky toys kept them from keeping their eyes on me...no Lord of the Flies!

If I feel like it, i will talk about it more at another time...until then, I am Your Eternal Bud!
