In my new unit at work I realise that everyone is so different. We are really diverse in immigration, everyone is from a different background. But also we all have personalities, and it relates very much to the way we do work. I think I am genuinely a quiet person, as much as I try and be an extrovert I can never feel completely comfortable in the presence of a large group of people. My last section (Finance) was only a close group of 4 ladies, now we have 8 people and I have very 'LOUD' colleagues. It is both good and bad...good because we never have a dull moment, always joking around and playing about. Bad cuz a few of us are quiet and dont have a chance to voice ourselves and we are not noticed as much.

I thought I would be able to have clever come backs and hilarious jokes to charm my colleagues but I dont. I am like one of the most boring workers in DIMA. Often labelled as the soft spoken, nice girl. It sucks...I want to be more aggressive and noticeable but also I want my personal space. I dont think I can handle being popular or talked about. For example, even when people comment on my appearance being 'nice' I often doubt their opinion.

Hmm...man...there is still so much time till retirement lol! I think I should be able to survive the office social scene, but I still cant accept it as a part of my life. It takes up 8 hours every day, quite a big chunk! But I can never be comfortable with it being a part of my life... it sucks. Maybe cuz Im not doing what I totally love, but just satisfied with. But there is no doubt I am working with lovely people...I just hope they can accept me for my boring self. lol!

Dunno what's up with the low self image at the moment, but even though I know I am boring guess I dont care either...I will never want to be the follower or sheep. As long as I am comfortable and being myself, that's what I should be proud of...even though I am the soft spoken, nice girl. It's better than loud mouth, bitch face. hehe.

It's good that you are yourself. That is what will make you stand out. Loud people do not using get promoted.

As long as it's not forced diversity... I hate forced diversity. I don't think it's beneficial to anyone.
