I'm a bit...

As some of you will know by now, I've been studying a Retail course for the last 5 months. I finished today. Last week (we only do 1 day a week) the teacher handed out A4 paper with "What you like about me..." and then our names on it in the middle. The paper with our names on it were handed round to everyone in the class, except ourselves, and everyone else had to write something positive about us on it.

I got mine back today, and I just read it now. I thought I'd share. It might be an interesting new perspective instead of just thinking of me as that arrogant, unlovable, longwinded bitch you've come to love and put on the ignore list.

What my classmates wrote about me will be in quotes, and then my comments will follow. Enjoy.

-------------------
"Quite" - I think she meant to write, "Quiet," but I like being known as Quite. It's so trendy!

"Very intelligent" - well, that's just plain lying!

"Always works hard" - except when I'm pretending to go to the bathroom and actually nipping outside for a quick smoke.

"Nice guy" - total bitch.

"Great person" - it fills me with joy to not register as one gender or the other. Seriously.

"You are an interesting person" - who never shuts up and probably makes things up to win friends.

"Nice young man with so broad mind, very smart" - and he didn't even point out the poor grammar.

"Interesting and intelligent" - okay, now you're just copying what other people have written! Why didn't you just write, "Who?"

"Cool " - is that sarcasm?

"always smiling =)" - I couldn't help but notice his bad teeth.

"Great to work in a team with you" - know-it-all braggart who likes to suck up to the teacher out of a sense of outrageous co-dependence.

"Happy =)" - is how I feel when Cliff leaves the room.

"Always a great team member full of great ideas and experience" - didn't let me get a word in edgeways.

"I like how he always has answers to the teachers questions and is very smart" - I wanted to be on his team so I could get a free ride in the group assignments.

Yeah. Apparently one of those quotes belonged to my teacher...

Anyway, feel free to call me names now. Or maybe if you have a similar piece of paper from some other teacher's shiny idea, you can share it here.

*takes shirt off*

They didn't need to say it with words. They said it with their eyes.

Yeah, I'm awesome. My classmates said so.

Are you sure they weren't talking about me?

I am quite

This forum isn't big enough for 2 Quites. I demand a Quite-off at high noon!

Awesome. Today I finished my course, AND made someone go "Haha!" It was the exclamation point that really made my day.

I'm sure you are.

Now could you please explain what that white thing with the clock on its head in your avatar actually IS ?? It's driving me batty.

Hopefully by Christmas I'll be working, and so will be able to afford an actual present for myself.

Maybe some new glasses...

Alas, I am now going to bed.

Feel free to make fun of me in my absence. I promise not to multi-quote you all when I wake up and send it to Mac.

Have a good one, all you office partiers!
