    I'm not sure anything I do surprises people.. family and friends know to expect the unexpected... I keep em on their toes.

    The only thing I can think of is that although I'm an extrovert, love being around people etc occasionally I need to be alone and have quiet. (Though usually I'm plotting a prank or something) 😁

    How much I pay attention. And how much I care. Most folks get the impression I don't care, so I don't pay attention.

    I've spread hundreds of thousands of duplicates over the course of my time in service. Duplication is a messy business.

    Even though I come off as a extrovert I’m actually an introvert.

    This describes me perfectly! Also, many people are shocked that I'm a Professional Engineer.

    People are usually surprised to find out I'm introverted and have some anxiety. I'm really friendly and chatty once I feel comfortable.

    That I'm actually pretty good at listening, calculating, giving advice, problem solving. Those sorts of things.

    And my large tongue lol. :D

    I used to be in plays and musicals, too! Why did you stop? I don't know why I did; I often think I should get back into it because I enjoyed it a lot.

    Someone at work once commented on how I wore a lot of pink--when I didn't own a single pink item of clothing. So I started asking coworkers and found that most of them had the same perception that I often wore pink. So apparently, people were surprised to learn that I didn't wear pink. LOL

    I've never been drunk.

    A long time ago I published a novel. (But then never wrote another one. I'm trying to get my groove back.)

    Until my mid-30s I was thin and athletic. (Now I'm in the obese BMI range. Again, trying to get my groove back.)

    I'm a kickass mom and I know it. My daughters are everything to me. But I really don't like kids in general. I have mad respect for teachers and anyone who works with children all day long.
