The Other Side of Me

It’s funny how everyone will only show certain sides of their personalities to certain people. Last night I was at E-bar with some friends when we were talking about what I do for a living.


Esther: What do you actually do for a living?
Me: I’m a software release engineer, also known as being in cubicle hell.
Esther: I can’t picture you as an engineer. The Monica I know is a drinker and a partier.
Me: I do other things besides drinking and partying, you know!
Esther: I know, but to me, engineering and Monica do not mix.


I guess it’s because a lot of my friends are still in college that it’s hard to believe that I actually have a grown up job. Well, a job that I can probably call a career but I don’t. A career just sounds too grown up for me and I’m everything but that, a grown up. I’m not ready to leave behind my childhood just yet.
