The Quarter Life Chronicles

No Title 12/04/2008
 

I've spent my entire life striving to be as invisible as possible.  I was pretty good at it.  I then switched jobs, uprooted myself from my comfort zone and am dealing with becoming somewhat of a minor celebrity at my job.  While I'm flattered that my boss speaks highly of me, it's an uncomfortable situation.  As Alanis Morrisette sang in her song Not the Doctor "I dont want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and Im afraid of heights".

Quick. Show him your clay feet BEFORE he is disillusioned.

I guess I'm a positive-attention hog. I think I'm my boss' favorite despite my...quirks. It doesn't bother me @ all. I guess it might depend on how your boss expresses it, though. If my boss was more gushy, I think I'd be pretty uncomfortable. Hey, enjoy it! Appreciation is hard to come by. ;)

I often find myself being in the position of wanting to be in the spotlight but also wanting to be in the background.

Can't have it all I guess.
