The Black Dot of Stuff

Years ago and miles away when I worked for Best Buy (yes, I did), we had to wear these yellow name tags on our blue shirts. The name tag had your name on the bottom and then three partitioned boxes on top. The small boxes were for awards or a promotion button you received. However, soon after I joined the company the use of those boxes was cancelled so they were always just these empty boxes on the top of your name tag.
One day I stuck a black, rubber sticky thing in one of the boxes, it was round. It really was a rubber base you stick on the bottom of a tv stand, I found it on the floor.
People started asking me why I had this black dot on my name tag. I would calmly explain that I wore it in support of China in their reclaiming of Tibet. The reactions from people ranged from, "Tibet?" to "WHAT!!!? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! YOU CAN'T!!!!"
It was sooooooo much fun.
People are funny.

Unfortunatly for me I am not fun at parties, large groups of people scare the heck out of me and I shut up and sit in the corner. After I know people I change completely.

Doitashimashite. It is so much better to be screwy and fun than serious and somber.
