Today, introduce yourself to someone you know but never speak to.
The transcript of this conversation between me and a woman from the office next door, as it occured in the copy room in the afternoon.
Me: Hello, I'm Jami.
Her: Hi.
Me: Making copies, huh?
Her: Yes.
Me: How's that working out for you?
Her: What?
Me: The copies.
Her: What about it?
Me: It never stops.
Her: What?
Me: Work. What if it did?
Her: Well, I suppose that would be pretty bad...(starting to back away)
Me: As bad as madcow?
Her: What are you talking about?
Me: Work. Madcow disease.
Her: Okay, I'm going to leave.
Me: But you didn't answer my question.
Her: What was that?
Me: How's that working out for you?
Her: What!?
Me: The copies.
Her: Fine. (Turns and walks away)
Me: Glad to hear it.
About Me
- Jami
- Best stated by a friend of mine...I've come to think that describing yourself is like telling someone about your favorite book. You can tell them all your favorite parts, why you love the characters, and about the compelling plot, but deep down you know they're not going to have quite the same experience that you had. They may read the book and love it, but the reasons they love it and the things they take away from it will be different than yours, but good nonetheless. So my only hope is to tell you enough to convince you to read the book, to get to know me, and then you may take away whatever feelings you wish. Make yourself an open book, letting others read into it as they wish. Not everyone will like what they read, but atleast you know that the ones who do like what is truly there, and not some false cover you put on. "Jami loves:when she wakes up before the alarm,to sit at pub tables during a concert,when movies make her cry,baking,classic rock bands,giving gifts. Jami hates:to run out of things to say,to see other people cry,when movies have a predictable ending,to let people waste her time."
