So we’ve all been asked to share our favorite quotes in a staff meeting this week……………

CUE PANIC

So many things could go wrong with this. A) What if I go too serious & kill the mood? B) What if I go funny & no one laughs? C) What if I choose something hip & obscure & NO ONE GETS IT?!

I just have so many thoughts. Why couldn’t they ask my favorite movie? (Titanic) Or the classic favorite color question? (Purple) I even prefer the hidden talent one because HELLO I am good at everything.

This could really change my peer’s perception of me. Right now I think I’m straddling the cute, quirky, neurotic line & I would like to ride that wave as long as possible.

Please advise or I will end up saying “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” or something.
