The people I work with are cool
because they listen to me run my motormouth. You ever get the feeling that a person is talking just to be talking just to hear their own voice? I feel like that sometimes because at work I like to share my opinion and make my case on every issue that filters thru the workplace, and 80% of the time I'm jus making it up as I go. But It's fun. It is different than the way I act naturally off the job.

Work Micah and Leisure Micah are two different people, but it's looking a lot like the yin and yang theory being played out. Let's get down on some theology ( how bout I pull back the curtains so you can peek in from a window in my mind? yea, when I write "theology", I think in my head that if someone were to read this post they could dispute with me whether "theology" could be used to describe what I am about to propose, as I am doubting that it is entirely applicable terminology, or the best word to describe what I am saying--possibly I fear a faux paux). Work Micah has some Leisure Micah in him because truly I see myself as a livid talker and warm people-person, laughing and stirring up debate, conversations, tossing around ideas, bringing out some energy and passions, and without inhibition on my part. Work Micah can do this, and make a brilliant fool of himself while doing so, I might add.

Yet at the same time, while on the job I take the tasks at hand seriously and quite literally, always keeping an eye on the rules and requirements while trying to reconcile the fluctuatuions between what's right and wrong, friendliness, dealing with customers in proper fasion; but most importantly doing the job to the uttermost degree of certainty according to proper procedures and kinda winging it. This focus makes me rather strict indeed, and I go by the rules and leave it there. However I do slack my share and I still try to put a smile on it. This, it seems, would make me a stick in the mud, and it does in some respects. I push friends and family out as I honor my work responsibilities--friends and fam exist in an entirely different realm. I may be quite frank with them as they happen by (honestly tho, it's not as bleak as I make it out to be--we laugh, we have fun--I just stay on top of my duties). So I have a little bit of both, left brain--right brain, right there at work. To pontificate: ( i like that word--it's not the right word i know--i mean it in a good way ) my most extreme side of uninhibited free flowing self expression and excited interaction comes at work, in the most rigid and conforming setting. Odd.

Now outside of work we have Leisure Micah, who is a chilled out, laid back lizard. No rules, no conformity (thas fer sure). I do keep in my mind, with much less intensity, a focus on what's right and wrong--as it never ever leaves my mind. But also I have the same passions to be involved with people now appear invisible, and actually completely underworked, under-excercised. Jus chill. Why? The inhibitions. Work Micah has what Liesure Micah wants. Uninhibited free flowing interactions with people. To summarize: Liesure Micah has a loss of conformity to the rules but mounting inhibitions makes him a stiffer stick in the beachy sand. Hmmm.

Ha. It is the yang and yin. Actually, according to emode (great place to take quizes to learn about yerself) my greatest talent is that I am well balanced--and it's true, I am a balanced kinda person. This creates a desire fer variety, and that pretty much dominates my decision making fer what I enjoy and appreciate, as I give everything a turn and let different things serve different purposes. It's like that, and thas the way it is--huh!
