I am boring, lesbian witch-hunts, hyporcrisy and other things

I have come to an important coclusion lately......I am boring.Why do I say this?Because I find most of the people around me very boring and I was told that if you find people around you boring then you must be the boring one.So The Acolyte is one boring bastard.For some reason lately I have found that more and more I am beginning to enjoy my own company.A friend of my roomie came to visit the other day and she finds it shocking that unlike her and her room mate, we spend alot if time in our own respective rooms doing her own thing; so she constantly invites me to join them whenever she comes by.
Most of my life I have been a deep introvert and when I tell people that, they are shocked because I do a wonderful job of faking it.This article which was on someone else's blog (give yourself a pat on the back) struck a cord with me. I think a job where I had to constantly interact with people would tire me out and I guess that is one reason I dont like me current job too much because I do have to answer the phone and deal constantly with 4 people where as in my other job there was very little phone answering and only one person to deal with.I dont mind working with other people but it's the constant pretence at comradere that is part and parcel of most American jobs that bores me.
I am one of those people who would like to come in, say good morning, put my nose to the grindstone and leave most interaction to job oriented exchanges.Picture me rude but I don't want to know how your grandkids are doing,where you went for your anniversery,what your husband/wife likes,go out for office lunches and take pictures to send the other offices in the form of a christmas card (yes our office does that, ewwwwwww!).
But much as some women have to fake orgasms to boost their husbands ego, I will fake enthusiasm and comradere for the sake of office solidarity and to appear a team player!

Most people who read my blog know that I will never be seen at a gay pride rally but there is something that I came across black looks website that made me raise an eyebrow ala The Rock.It seems that a tabloid in Uganda has taken it upon themselves to out lesbians and gays in Uganda.All they ask is that you send them the details and they will print them.Much as Kenya has been vilified by many blog activists, it has never gotten this bad and I doubt that it shall.The worst thing is that the government seems to be encouraging this situation.I can only shudder to think what would happen if a spiteful neighbour called the paper and gave in your details as revenge.Witch hunts have never been known for sparing the innocent, so it is obvious that quite a few innocents will go down.Anyway there goes my Public Anouncement of the month, back to regular programming.

I am reading this book for my class on Leadership and it has opened up my eyes to the hypocrisy of the United States.The U.S constantly sends it's envoys worldwide telling them to be more inclusive to women in leadership when it has a pathetic record itself (I'll do a more indepth post later).Most of Africa is not leadership friendly to women but as this article shows at least some of them have made attempts ie Uganda having a female Vice President.
I know Kenya is still a bit further back and that can change but not at the moment when our MPs have already started campaigning despite the fact that elections are next year.Sheeesh!I guess I'll leave it to M to bitch slap them.

I was adding some new sounds to my soul collection and I came across something a KBW member would be interested in.Archer, here's a little Boney M for you.Enjoy!Anyway back to boring old Monday.....
