It actually went uphill after the hug, maybe I just needed to be hugged for no reason. Or maybe it was because the questions tapered off about ten minutes later, actually...
That's good! I'm sure after a while you weren't in "early" anymore and it was normal time which would shut people up lol.
Sometimes hugs are really all we need. Last week, I was kind of desperately in need of a hug and my friend's 3-year-old son was the SWEETEST and was so cuddly with me and it helped SO MUCH.
When I worked at Pike Place Market, I used to get hundreds of people a day asking me the same "cleaver" questions, as if they thought they were the only person to think of them. I had a standard of sarcastic answers that were funny, but also due to my quick response, showed them that no, they weren't the first person to ask me that.
I think the next person that asks you that, you should say, "It's part of my plan for world domination. Genghis Khan didn't ever sleep in."
I think this is a good course of action and probably the one I'll go with. Maybe make something different up for everyone, just to add to the confusion.
I guess I'm lucky. The people I work with mind their own business, couldn't care less what time I show up for work, and a lot of them (in the library generally) don't even know who the fuck I am. I can't imagine working in a place where everybody noticed my comings and goings, it would drive me bonkers.
Are we just secretive people or what? I feel like a lot of people wouldn't get why this bothers me so much. I just shouldn't have to explain my whereabouts to these people.
Come to think of it, that's been true of just about every workplace I've been in. People just don't engage me in small talk. I must give off a vibe that says, "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE."
Yes! Just the same thing, over and over, it irritates me to no end. It's such useless chatter, especially since literally no one I'm talking to actually gives a crap.
