Through the looking glass

You know those people? The ones who never quite fit in anywhere, always just on the outside of everything? Well, that's me!
Now, this is not something about which I'm complaining ~ in fact i find it helps me keep perspective on a great many things.
At work, I get called a freak, I have never really fit in with the crowd, I have never wanted to, before I generalise, I have some great friends there, but for the main part, by those higher up, I am a freak, because I look, dress and act a little differently, because i have tattoo's, or whatever. So, I never quite make a connection to these people (to be honest, I struggle to make a connection to many people). What I genuinely find funny though, is that because they, sat in their office, and their suits perceive me as different, they also perceive me as a little thick, and a little in-capable, I think they have this idea, that if I'm ''not corporate, then I'm not capable'', and even better... they think I have no idea that the think like this... I often get fobbed off when asking for oppertunities, by bullshit, that is very thinly veiled under a sheet of big words and a poor attempt at diplomacy!
To be straight, I am not the only person they have done this too, and I have seen it many times before, and I have seen good people let it get to them. 
But I'm me, I'm not good people... I'm just sitting waiting for the right chance to present its-self, sitting just outside the window, watching, waiting....  and when my time comes, they will be as expendable to me as I am to them, and i will never look back.


So, to all you people who sit looking through the glass, wishing you could, for once, be on the inside, my best advice is ~ Don't! Your'e in the best place, you can see so much more looking in, than you could if you were inside ~ also, people tend to forget you, so they let their guard down.
