two roads

:: Friday, June 10, 2011 :: It's about being asked

It's pretty hypocritical. Well, that's not quite the right word...

I definitely did not want the position (too much discipline and not so much academics) but it is about being asked. Only thought on it briefly until went to dinner and lunch with two co-worker friends. Made me wonder where the decision came from.

Feel like nowadays, I have to ask rather than be asked. The result is the same, I'm sure, but it's about being asked. Makes you feel more wanted. More included.

Also brought me back to when wasn't asked to the co-worker's December wedding, to the campus table at KinderAwards, to co-worker's birthday party, etc.

Sure, I know that the tables turn in other scenarios and I am invited to some things that others are not. It's about perception and the minority screw the perception.

That is all.
