Take a Chance He Said

Take a chance the new employee said; the entire room laughed. She is the Evel Knievel of our company, someone informed him. As a newcomer, he was arrogant and a tad bit mean. He never got to meet the real me, so he never knew. I take a chance every opportunity that comes my way. I am the one who invests in the craziest things imaginable. I stick my neck out, daring the guillotine to come down. If he had not been so pompous, he might have gotten to know me. But he was a misogamist, and I have no room for these people. So I did not get to know him and he did not get to know me. He is really great once you get to know him, someone told me. Additional proof that she is the worst judge of character I know.

All I can say is that I avoid those people who annoy me. I simply don't need them crowding my space.

I run screaming the opposite direction, making no explanations or apologies.
