Here's what. For eight hours a day and 5 days a week, I am a drastically less cool version of myself. I pretend to love breakfast burritos (only to toss them in the trash). I laugh at really bad jokes and I pretend to not be disgusted at the lack of hand sanitizers at peoples cubicles. I have also learned to smile and nod when the Caucasians ask if I've heard Wiz Kalifa's song "Black and Yellow." The only thing that is 100 percent me is my salt and light, despite the fact that certain folks make me want to turn into Ol bay seasoning and a laser pointer. I feel like I have done an awesome job at allowing my co workers to know Chasity. Here's the problem though, they are trying to know CHAS at all cost. Chas and Chasity are two different people. Chasity doesn't do anything on the weekends, she's a cat lady, she has zero interest and she watches paint dry for fun. Chas on the other hand, lives a very full life. I noticed that my overly private demeanor has caused them to Google me numerous times and I actually find it to be invasive at the very least. There's nothing like sitting down at your desk and having someone randomly sing one of your songs or quote something you said on the internet. To be honest, I really like my coworkers but I have NEVER searched for them because I feel like they are entitled to clock out and be whoever they want to be. I could be sitting next to Ted Bundy from 7-3:30 and I would never know it. Thats respect.

So.. Question, am I wrong or should they back off and let me be who I told them I was?
