People say the strangest things

November 6th, 2008

Dinner last night with a set of people from work, most of whom I don’t know very well, was surprisingly fun. A few deep conversations developed (it was that kind of a day – I suspect everyone was in a somewhat pensive and reflective mood) and I was once again surprised by how transparent I can be while imagining that I’m a complete mystery to people.
Someone said to me I should work in local government and then listed about 4 things I am all of which were pretty spot on. Now I’m not sure that I want to work for the council, but it gave me pause to think. I’m that easy to understand?
It’s these moment when we realise that so many assumptions about who we are and what we look like are wrong that really help you along in life. I suspect I’m in for a few days at least of heavy musing.
