It's Okay to be a Reject!!

Ahh, work... I love my job... (that's just dripping with sarcasm, so you know.) I made an epic oops today. I went to move a tub full of cheese, lost my balance and ended up slipping on a piece of cheese (oh, the irony...). There goes one tub of cheese to the fishbait bin... (fishbait is what we call 'landfill cheese' it's been contaminated (aka dropped on the floor) and is just garbage now.) That was fun. Made a giant mess that did. Right in the middle of where everyone has to walk through. And yet no one stopped to help... Hmmm...

Any way, I was thinking at work again, because I really have nothing else to do. It's either think while I work, or get a bajillion different single lines of a bajillion different songs stuck in my head as I work (because apparently I can't remember full songs!!! D: ) So I was thinking. And this is what I came up with: The only place where it is NOT okay to be different, is at the cheese factory. But only if you're cheese. Let me explain. (I'll probably use some funny words here in a moment. Bear with me.)

If the cheese is "bad" we call them "rejects". It's not really bad, it's just not good for packaging and selling. So if you (the cheese) are too fat or too thin, you're a reject. If you're not straight (ha ha), reject. If you're clothes don't fit right, reject. (that would be the film (the plastic wrapping)) We don't want no baggy clothes or spandex in this place... :P If you're best friend (the other cheese it's attached to) is a reject and it rubs off on you, reject. (meaning the film probably didn't seal right, which makes it bad too.) And some others that I thought of before, but can't remember at the moment.

But as I was rescuing the good cheese from being Rejected, (funny game, I should show you sometime. Only problem is, I would need a conveyor belt...) I was thinking about this stuff and I was like, "Life would be so boring if that's how it was. 'You're different than everyone else... OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!'" I'm so glad we're all different, and we're not all cookie cutter people.

There was a girl at school who had a t-shirt that read, "You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same." I love that saying. :) It really is okay to be different, no matter how that may be. You are you, and no one else matters.

I have a bracelet that I got from a website. You've probably seen me wearing it. It's black and all it says is "BEDIFFERENT" in white letters. (people like to pretend their funny and read it 'bedifferent' as one word.) I wear it all the time (except at work) as a reminder of 2 things. 1. It's okay to be different, it really is. And 2. I should be different than who I was, before I started to figure some things in my life out. It's okay to change who you are, and be different. It's okay to be a reject. :)

I kind of enjoy being a reject. :) I hope you like it too. It's not so bad. The only people who laugh at you or call you weird are a) your friends, b) your significant other, or c) people who think they're too cool but are actually really lame. And seeing as how two of those options are people who actually love you, the other option is really easy to put up with.

Those are my Reject thoughts for the day. :) Hope you enjoyed.

REJECTS UNITE!!!
