i’m brave!

by

i did something this morning i never do. when i walked into reception at work this morning, one of the new trainees was standing at the elevator. so i stuck out my hand and said “hi. i’m heather.” then we chatted a bit about how his first week was going and where i worked in the company.
when i got to my desk to unpack my stuff i noticed my hands were shaking a little. i never introduce myself to anyone like that. ever. i’d rather stand there in awkward silence than risk my first impression on my bumbling tongue
i don’t know why i did it. i know i’ve been thinking lately about having to develop some confidence in myself, confidence to project to others. i supoose this was a good first step. “hi. i’m heather.” three words. i can handle that again. right?
p.s. i totally forgot it was thursday today. you’ll have to wait until i get home for the the mpeg. sorry!

    actually, he was cute. very nice blue eyes. but, he’s probably married, so it doesn’t matter. =)

    Good for you, Heather. I try to do that, too, as it’s part of the program I’m in. It’s really hard, though. Especially because when I try to say something, I end up stuttering and making no sense.

    you’re gonna give up on a “probably”?!?
