My workplace is nuts

Tweet

I work at a large high school. We have thousands of students and hundreds of staff. It is not an inclusive or friendly place to work. There are cliques. I walk by people who I've worked with for 20 years and they won't even make eye contact or smile. There are open wars among employees. I'm an introvert and shy in general so I don't go out of my way to speak to people. That has always made people think that I am a total biotch. Nah I just stay to myself. This year though I've been forced to spend my off periods in the faculty room which is a place I've always tried to avoid. I've become friendly with some of the paras and they are like "wow you are really funny". Okay. The building principal told one of the assistants that I'm obsessed with Outlander and now he and his wife (who also works in the building) always want to talk to me about the show. Yeah I'm not as awful as they all thought. They just didn't know me because they never bothered to talk to me.
