I think there is a conspiracy at work. Really. I’m not just being paranoid. People are out to get me.

Ok…not out to *get* me, per se. But they are trying to get me. *laugh*

I’ve talked about being anti-social. It’s a part of who I am. My therapist forces me to get out into situations just to be around people. Blech. Why?

So, my boss, whom I really like, must have an “in” with my therapist. In the past month, he has volunteered me to go before the Governing Board to give a report. Now, I’m in charge of the Employee picnic this summer. That means that I need to work with a committee (chair it), talk to people, solve problems, avoid problems, etc.

I’m a GEEK GIRL, dang it!!! I’m happiest in front of my computer working out BUGS…not having to AVOID bugs outside with other employees. Ok…that’s a bit of a stretch. I’m fortunate enough to live in a place that is full of natural beauty and I’m a bit of a granola and love the outdoors. It’s a dichotomy…I’m a geek girl by weekdays and a granola girl by weekends. Heh.

Anyway, back to the rant… I’m being *thrust* into dealing with people who are arguing over the merits of having beer at a BBQ, whether we should invite all of the campuses or only our main campus, and whether we should hire face-painters for the kids. The insanity of it all. If it were up to me, I’d say bring your own food and eat with us. Heh. That doesn’t fly, though. They aren’t going for it.

Ok…maybe I’m done with this rant. I can’t keep it up. Gwen Stephani just came on the radio singing “I’m just a girl” and I can’t be serious when she’s singing a song I want to get up and dance to…

I’m going back to playing in front of my computer and be-bopping in my chair as people stare at me through my office window wondering what kind of a freak I am.

If only they knew…
