Can a misfit ever shape up?
April 1, 2014 12:01 PM
I have trouble fitting in at work. Most of my coworkers seem to be a bunch of squares who follow the company line to a T. Everyone here certainly seems to have a very two-dimensional view of the world. But work is just piling up faster and faster and I'm starting to think I'm just not made for this job. Each day is an endless puzzle. I just can't seem to connect with others, like no matter how much I twist and turn there's always a gap left between. I feel like I'm falling. Help!
If it matters, there's this annoying looped Russian folk music being piped in non-stop, I think it speeds up when it gets super busy?

Look for what others are missing, and position yourself to fill those voids. A little experience is the key -- before long, you'll be getting things lined up easily and it will seem like your troubles are disappearing before your eyes.
