bowling is so not my game
so there was a team outing yesterday, mandatory to build team morale (in my opinion if you have to make a team morale boosting outing mandatory you're already in trouble for morale) and it was bowling, which doesn't require people to have special skills to do.
i suck at bowling, it's one of the sports i don';t think i'll be good at, ever. the best score i had was under 70. and trust me i wasn't TRYING for the worst score prize (not that i won that either, i am just slightly better than the worst - story of my life!)
speaking of sports, there's so many "DIFFERENT" sports i see on ESPN now, i think if i had to do it all over, i would be quite an athelete. Spelling Championships, National Scrabble Championship, World Eating Contest, Holdem Poker Tournaments... now i see that i could've had much potential to be the sporty jock type.
it's my official last day in qa, starting monday i'll be in development. it's kinda surreal, the changing of a career path. i was talking to a friend who thought i should be proud i've achieve the change (it's really hard to go from qa to dev) - but it's like i can see the mountain top, but give me 3 months, until i've conquered the top, stake my flag up there and look down to admire the view, i just dont want to take any chances.
unrelated topic, most of you reading this blog has known me FOREVER. so i'm wondering, if someone tells you that every time i see them i give them a stare-down in a malicious way, would you believe them? (to put in context, someone that has only TALKED to me once, and seen me in passing from time to time since) i know everyone's capable of BEING mean, but seriously, do you guys think i'm mean in general, mean spirited by nature, or would be mean to someone i don't really know?? and in general, how do you deal with other people who misinterprets your intentions either on purpose for their own means, or by accident because they've got issues?
if we were in court, would you be my character witness?? (totally hypothetical question, pls don't be alarmed and start raising money to get me bail money out of jail or anything!!!)

is this someone from work? sometimes, if you are intimidated by someone, that someone's casual look may be perceived as an agreesive stare down.
how would I deal with that? depends how much I care about that one person's opinion. if you've only directly talked to this person once, unless they are this high ranking exec, I wouldn't worry about it. You know who you are and you shouldn't have to worry about these petty annoyances.
can't think of you that way, but I'm sure some of us can act differently in the work environment. There are a lot of politics at work - you can't avoid it; but you can play along.
Speaking of bowling, I bowled a freaking awesome game the other day at Vickie's birthday. Wasn't really paying attention, bowled like I just didn't care, and came out with a score >170 (can't remember the exact value, shows how much I cared!).
Apparently, bowling is like dancing, you've gotta do it like you just don't care.
As far as staring people down, you're a naturally cheery person and I've never seen you be mean to anyone so this is hard to believe. The only context I can imagine you getting angry (and possibly violent) is if someone stole your sushi. Is this the egregious crime that your coworker commited?
amy stare down? impossible! this person you speak of must be on drugs.
