relax more

stopped what I was doing and joined a conversation some folks were having.

I’ve tried to do that more often. People tend to make me nervous, so I tend to get sucked into my computer (my folks have dial-up at home so I abuse the connection at work- I admit it!). I need to interact more.

I don’t get jokes, I think everything is meant meanly, and I don’t actually listen to what’s being said.

Also, I try too hard. I force snappy comments, I harsh on people if I think it would sound funny. Sometimes I should just be quiet and let the conversation flow, let things pass me by, let other folks make the yuks and just chill.
