I thought I was past this Slinging business cards at monthly networking events It's been 25+ years since I attended one of these Everyone's in suits and I'm in my daily black t and jeans Apparently . . . it made people flock to me Like I didn't care I was there, no . . . I care, it just doesn't matter to me That's all they talked about Maybe it was because I was the NEW face Fresh meat for their stale lives, their stale jokes "Suit at the cleaners?" No, I have 6 "Hey, you look comfortable!" Thanks, I am . . . are you? I don't wear suits anymore Unless it's a funeral or a wedding that warrants it No questions about what I do my skillset who I am were asked until after comments on my clothes were made I'm done I should retire all my contacts are retiring I don't want to make new ones to explain myself again, and again, and again over, and over, and over Change is a good thing, right? It means I'm growing right? I thought I had already grown enough There I go thinking again Oh well, see you all next month
