I just had my mid- year review about a half hour ago. I think it was pretty positive, but, my boss pretty much said I was socially retarded in a nice way. See, being the realist I am, I already knew that. I probably coulda shaved off a half an hour by saying that up front. My supervisor’s a sweetheart, man. I could tell she didn’t want to come off in a rude manner, but she had a couple of concerns regarding my communication skills. See, for those who know me, I’m very…outspoken and confident and blunt when I speak. In a work environment, that doesn’t necessarily come across well. See, I’m very nonchalant with my attitude, not because I’m arrogant, but more so because I’m anti- social. I’m a fool once you get to know me, or once I’m comfortable. But, if I’m in the work world, game face is on, baby! Add that to the fact I am blunt and sometimes don’t know how to say things, which you may find ironic because I’m a poet; think about that tho’…a poet writes things down. Shit if I could communicate through poetry at work, I’d be good. However, that ain’t the case, and I need to work on my social skills a bit more. This would be the first time I have had an issue regarding my professional image…wow, that’s not cool. But, it can be easily corrected. Whenever I’m made aware of something, I can generally adjust in an incredibly short amount of time. We’ll see…
