In Which Our Intrepid Hero Is Not So Intrepid After All

 

Oh LJ. Today I decided "I am no longer going to be meek and quiet! I shall no longer be afraid of people and delay delay delay when I have to go talk to someone! I will be strong and bold and not afraid!

I would start this grand new me by getting up and getting my timesheet signed by Bossman and handing it in to PayrollLady (I know her name, I swear, I just do not want to use names in my LJ, SHUT UP THIS IS TOTALLY SENSIBLE). I was Strong and Bold and Brave and Not Afraid and I got up immediately instead of delaying for five ten fifteen three hundred minutes.

"Carpe diem!" I cried and strode off to hand in my timesheet.

So, of course, when PayrollLady said ":D Hi! Come on in! :D" I went "hi i just have my timesheet thank you :)" and ran away.

Together, we will conquer our fear of adult-type people and become real adults!

hahahahha I LOVE YOU A LOT. and look, you still DID THE ACTUAL ACT OF HANDING IN YOUR TIMESHEET. In an assertive-ly timely fashion. That's what matters!

That's, like, straight out of my life! Except I don't think I'm going to stop delaying soon, so that was a huge step you took. *salutes*

You can do it too! My friend assures me that people really aren't going to try to eat us, no matter what we might think.

But you said something! That's good!

This is 100000% true. :D I could've said nothing and just handed it to her and run away. Which I totally considered.

Huzzah for you! It'll get better - next time you'll speak in 9pt text, then 10pt and soon you'll the same size text as PayrollLady. :D
