It's nothing, it's so normal
You just stand there
I could say so much
But I don't go there, 'cause I don't want to
Do you ever wonder what people are really thinking? Like when you're sitting in a meeting and you'd just give your left hand to know what is running through everyone's minds. Sometimes I worry too much about what people think. I mean, not on a personal level, per se, but more on the business level, I guess.
I'll be all up in a meeting and I'll think, hmm.... what if this was a good idea -- maybe I should share it. Then I think, what if it is the worst idea in the history of the world other than Michael Jackson's hair being anywhere near an open flame in that Pepsi commercial. So sometimes I sit thereand say nothing. And I shouldn't and I'm totally working on it.
Or, you may be like me and sit in most meetings and think, now, this impacts me how? and I have to be here because why? I stared out the window a few weeks ago, not paying a single bit of attention during a meeting. In the back corner of my mind, I could almost swear I heard someone say, "Amy, do you have anything for the group?" I ignored the voice. Then it grew louder and was preceeded by a small cough, "Uh, Amy, do you have anything for the group?" Oh, me? Hmm... "Uh, no. thanks." And the funny part is, I wasn't embarassed, in fact, I coudn't care less! this is only because I know every other person in the room was not paying attention, either.
Like I'm sure you're not paying attention to this either --- right? right??!! =)
