Participate at Work 2 years ago

I usually avoid the social activities at work. I’m going to make an effort to participate, though. This week, my section had a pot luck lunch to celebrate two birthdays this month. My first thought whenever I get an invitation for a pot luck is “how can I get out of that?” I want to change that to “What should I bring?”

I brought a quiche and some green beans. I didn’t make them myself because I didn’t plan ahead well enough. Next time, I’ll do better.

I didn’t enjoy the event so much, but I did feel a part of the group instead of a grouchy outsider for a change. The jury’s still out, but I think that was worth it.

Good to know I'm not alone

I’m not 100% invested in this goal. Part of me wants to just be me and continue to not participate. But something tells me I have to if I’m going to survive much longer in this world. I feel like the older I get, the harder it is to make friends and meet people.

Maybe that’s just stupid thinking. I’ll keep trying, though, and see how it goes.

Thanks, Deni :)

The same thing, as in finding it harder to make friends and meet people as you get older?

Yep...

I’ve always been borderline introverted/extroverted…and I think that the older I get the more introverted I get.

Hi Colleen :)

I just tried to cheer you, and the cheer goblin pulled the rug out from under me. From 3 to 0 cheers in less than 2 seconds. :(

But it’s very close to bedtime, anyway, and I have my 5 grateful things to write. Plus I can hardly keep my eyes open. I’d love to play another time when the cheer goblin and sandman aren’t working against me!! :)

Thank you, Kim

for the cheer that you did give me, before the Cheer Goblin went nuts on you! smile We’ll just play Cheer Tag some other day….

I hope that you had a restful sleep (perhaps even some enjoyable dreams?) & that you’ll have a great day tomorrow!

Best wishes to you & your cuddly critters. smile

P.S. I’ll go check out your “grateful things” next!

(I don’t keep my list daily – that felt like too much pressure – but I do have a funny little goal for the times that I do write them down: I try to find nine things (rather than five) to be grateful for. grin)
