Me: "Nikki, you are always thinking all these profound ideas. Why don't you attempt to share them with the general public?"
Me: "Well I don't know how profound these thoughts of yours are, but what the heck. I might as well give it a shot."Hence the new blog.
On an unrelated note all cool people talk to themselves in their head and out loud. Try it. In the wise words of my grandfather "I've got to talk to someone intelligent."
Keep in mind I had an old blog about college life, but I was looking back over it and realized how completely silly I was. Now I can look back on this blog and realize how silly I am now and no one wants to miss out on that.
"Why name it The Awkard Social Worker?" you might ask. Well truth be told. I am one incredibly awkward person. I don't know why. I thought it would get better as I got more into becoming a Social Worker, but that has only worked out for me a tiny bit. I wish it were different, but hey what can you do? Here's a story about someone trying to make me less awkward:
Clearly my boss did not realize how awkward I clearly was when she hired me, because despite my inability to make conversation with random people I can do a pretty excellent interview. Just kidding. I have no idea how she missed that. So as soon as she figured out I was having trouble talking to patients at work she got it in her head she needed to fix me. She has been a Social Worker for quite a while and wanted to bestow some wisdom on me, a complete and utter newbie. She comes up to me and says "Nikki, I want you to go find someone from lab that speaks a reasonable amount of English and find out two personal things about their life." I don't think she realized how daunting this task clearly was. I don't just go up and do that because I am always worried about what people think about me. ALWAYS!!!!! If you just go up and talk to people they think you're weird in Nikki Land at least. I actually don't think it's weird when people do it to me, but I'm awkward. I can't go around just TALKING to people! That's crazy. Well anyways the Universe was incredibly forgiving to me that day and it turns out there was not a soul to be found in lab. To this day I am still awkward around my fellow employees. Thankfully I have learned how to be a better Social Worker to the patients here at Little Colorado Medical Center. Mostly in fear that I will ever have to go learn personal things about a fellow employee and my boss's request.Moving on now.
In all seriousness I love writing, I love sharing my thoughts in a non invasive way, I love being a Social Worker and I love laughing at my awkwardness. Therefore I have started one of these wonderful blogs. Modern day is just the coolest.
I really am trying to figure out the "real world" too. I mean taxes. Those things suck. The government is clearly set on taking away all of my hard earned money. Geeeezzz! So if you enjoy stories of awkward young adults figuring out adult life you've come to the right place!
Also I've got lots of comments on our country's Social Welfare State, so maybe you can learn something!
