"My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh." -Kristen Johnston

People make me nervous.  Like really, really nervous.  And I do things unconsiously that completely show this.  For example: I can't keep eye contact, like at all.  I will look at anything but the person I am talking to, or who is talking to me.  I don't know how many times I've gone through an entire conversation while looking around the room.  Many, that's all I know.
 
I bring this up because The Phone Guy just came into my office and knocked on the door frame.  My back faces the door (which I hate, by the way) so I turned around.  He said, "Hey, I just wanted to le you know that the ... "
 
I turned back around and started rifling through the stack of paperwork on my desk.
 
"...three phone lines are now hooked up in your other office."  I told him, "That's awesome, thanks!" while still going through the file in front of me.  Uhhhh...
 
Maybe its because I still feel weird about passing him in the hall yesterday and saying, "Hey there, are you The Phone Guy?" and then chuckling to myself all the way to my office when he said yes.  And he's really short and I felt really weird talking down (literally) to him.  He's like 5'4"?  5'5"?  And I was wearing heels...so I was at least 6', maybe 6'1"  He was eyelevel to my chest, haha.
 
 
 
Why in the world do I act so weird around people?

speaking of Kristen Johnston, have I ever mentioned how much I love that chick?!  3rd Rock From The Sun has a bunch of seasons on DVD now and I am officially putting them on my wishlist.
