This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't you think it's good to train children to be able to talk to strangers, in public and introduce themselves? I know it's stressful but I think it is useful.
That's just not how people introduce themselves out in the real world though.
Someone in our new partner team has scheduled a meeting for 11am today for us to introduce ourselves to each other.
Guess how it's going to be structured
work is the real world and i have some news
What do you think is different compared to when you join some new company, training or club and you are asked to present yourself to the group?
Depends how many of these kids will end up in AA meetings
I guess the teachers will just have to make educated guesses based on which students they presume will end up strung out, and then have only those kids practice the introductions.
(But, for real, I've encountered this shit in numerous workplaces)
