Day Twenty-one: Someone You Judged By Their First Impression

New Student Worker Girl at Owens,

You know, I'm not generally all that much about first impressions. However, I definitely judged you based on the first impression you gave me. I would love to explain to you why! It's because you were the rudest and most presumptuous person that I have come across in ages!

Generally, when you do not know a person, it is bad form to insert yourself into their conversation. To insert yourself into my conversation is to invite a beating upon yourself. The first day that I came face to face with you, you did this more than once. So, to start, I already didn't like you because you seemed to have no grasp of basic social expectations. Not only that, but you then proceeded to make a loud nuisance of yourself, making declarations about the state of whatever ridiculous work was in front of you.

Here's a tip from me to you regarding social cues: SHUT IT. No one cares about your opinion, especially if they didn't ask you for it. Personally, I'll tell you that, as I don't even know you, I could give less than a shit if you have an opinion about my conversation. Also, no one cares what you're doing. You're paid minimum wage to be seen and not heard. Shut up and finish your work. That's all you need to do for success.

You are not ethnic. You are not interesting. You are not cool. Your opinion does not matter. You do not matter. I do not think that you're intelligent because you can spew rhetoric about your African studies major. You're a white girl. Get over yourself.

Thanks,

Former Queen-Bee
