Other people...

make you sick!, you can't quite put your finger on why, and it always bugs
you, but there is just no chemistry!

Morgan and I encountered some of them on our Chapel Hill quest for continuing education
credits.
For some reason, I encountered a lot of these types among the
faculty and academic folks at UNC!
I would really love to figure out the reason why...
For the reason to reveal itself to me.

Just walking over to the new building I could feel the anxiety rising
both in myself and in Morgan.
We had to go and spend time among these nerdy butt-kissing horn-tooting self important
mousy nerds!! (The entire staff in that dept. needs to be turned in to a make-over show)
I am a nerd--but the kind we had to deal with in our Master's program
are cut from an even nerdier cloth. (or maybe it's the butt-kissing self-important part that is dispicable to me).

So, for two hours we listened to them toot their horns in the new building.

What is so bad about this bad chemistry is that I NEVER feel this way.
I love lots of information--super nerdy research.
Statistics was fun to me.
But for some reason--the nerds in our department were just
super-unappealing --in that most rooted way.

From now on, I will seek other CEU opportunities.
From now on, when we go to Chapel Hill it will be for fun only.
Because--when dealing with that bad chemistry--avoidance is key I am thinking.
After all, why would one intentionally and knowingly put themselves in a room full of
people almost all of whom induce the worst attitude problem ever??

So I won't anymore. :)
