Is it me????



So, I am sitting here unwinding from today and watching The Colbert Report from Monday (with all of this Inauguration stuff, I have been so behind on my DVR watching). Anyways, I thought I would blog about more of the same stuff that has been going on, but that I have found particularly odd today.

So, work has been busy - especially since I took Friday and Monday off for the wedding festivities. So, I have been pretty heads down at work for the past three days. Neverhtheless... it has been brought to my attention that I am, yet again, getting male attention at work, but not from the places I want it from (well, in all honesty, I am getting it from there too, just not in the way I want it).

Given, I have tried to step up my classy game (in order to keep up with Ms. E) but also, because I want to look cute for a variety of reasons. Whether they be boy-related or not. After all, I am working and am trying to advance in my career. Of course, I would be down if they wanted to pay me to look cute as well.

But alas, I am getting super dork/geek/nerd boy attention. Now, I am going to say this. There is a difference between being a silly dork/geek/nerd. I tend to be that way often. Especially when it comes to things I like to geek out on. The Office, Apple Products, NPR, Literature, etc... However, what I am talking about is a straight up social ineptitude that makes the person you are having the conversation with increasingly uncomfortable. This is apparentely is the type of guy I attract, however, I am attracted to a guy that has a lot more self confidence and can own a room.

Needless to say, I get these dork/geek/nerd boys mentioned above trying to talk to me about anything they can. I get an arm up on my cube, and I get an earful about their... EXPENSE REPORTS! Give me a break. Seriously. I don't think that everybody likes me (I am far from the cute one) but I mean, why can't I get the attention of the one that I want. Or, why can't I give up on what I think I want and try to be open to new experiences. Just not with socially inept people. I can't bring them around my family - they will eat them alive!
