at my new job
at my new job, everyone else is
wildly successful,
extremely intelligent,
unflaggingly industrious,
unfathomably talented,
flamingly competitive,
physically attractive,
accomplished, aggressive, confident, effective, efficient, heroic, outgoing, organized, and published.
(ran out of good adverbs)
seriously. every one of them. i am not exaggerating because there is no need to; this is my blog.
see this little thing that i'm doing? this little bunny hop-hop-hoppity-hopping? no, it's not a peepee dance. it's me wanting to freak out.
i want to freak out, but i can't. i can't because deep down i know it's a freaking miracle that i even got this job, and God has protected me and deliberately guided me into it, and caused me to appear to shine in all the other horribly hard jobs i've had and as an added bonus made all those other jobs not so hard. knowing that counters the freaky-outy-ness inside me somehow.
i also cannot freak out because, i think, i subconsciously won't let myself because a) it won't help anything and b) it will take up too much time and energy, both of which i must conserve for this next year which, i'm told, will be the worst of my entire life.
"but you're going to have a blast," they also say.
and this here is my barf bucket. you know, just in case.

if everyone at your new job are all of those things, then they didn't make a mistake in choosing you to join them, because people with those characteristics wouldn't make a mistake like that.
face it... you're one of them. congratulations.

oi. you guys are funny.
what if they need a "control"? you know, a basis for comparison? someone to make themselves feel smart?
what if they find out what a clever fraud i am?
aaaaaaaaaaah!
