I figure since I haven't spoken to this person in at least a year or so, i'm pretty safe that she won't visit my site. So, here it goes
I was thinking about a girl that I used to hang out with, and how cool she was. You ever meet someone, and then they just seem like totally awesome off the bat? Yeah, she was kinda like this. Then all of a sudden you realize it was all a front, or she ends up being totally crazy? Yeah, it was exactly like that.
We were sitting watching a movie, and she was telling me what she wanted to do with her life. I said, that's pretty cool. You're also a good looking girl, so it may make it a little easier to get into that kind of position (she wanted to be on TV). Well, at that point is where the horns came out, and I realized how psycho she really was. Her response was simply, you know, I hate it when people say that to me. I want the job because I am qualified not because somebody looks good. So, at this point I am totally freaked out, and kinda scared. Not sure what to do. My best thought was change the subject and all will be cool. Thank god it worked.
The point of that story is a simple one. Unfortunately, the way the world works is the people who look the best usually get things given to them a little easier. Not just the way they look, but how they dress and how they act also make a big impact.
So, if you are sitting around wondering why you are always used as some kind of doormat at the workplace. Maybe just try changing your attitude, and appearance. Things will change. jakeny@att.net Permanent Link to Crazy Story |
