TRUTH - Day 12: Something you never get complements on.

My aggressiveness, being an athlete, and my nose.

I recently applied to a job ... more responsibility but same pay ... yeah I don't know what I was thinking either especially since I am about to go on maternity leave.  As my current boss, who also would have been my future boss, was giving me feedback she described to me how I walked the panel through my thought processes, portrayed my feelings, and was completely honest. I thought it all sounded so wonderful and was exactly what I wanted the panel to see and prepared to hear that I had been selected for the position. Then she said "the person we selected was cocky and agressive" and went on to offer assistance in becoming more cocky and aggressive. Although I was pissed that I "lost" I had to laugh because they picked the right person ... that is not who I am or EVER want to be.

I am not an athlete. I have always wanted to be that girl who jumps up and plays a game of flag football or volleyball with the boys but I am not. I used to try to force myself into the situation but now I am much more confident just to say "no thanks" and leave it at that.

My nose. What can I say ... we all have one quality we hate and one quality that other people know isn't our best. I don't hate it enough to ever get plastic surgery though! Someday my daughter will have this nose and I want to teach her to wear it proudly!
