So here's the deal: I'm a 26 year old engineer who just transferred jobs. My previous 3.5 years were spent in Central Illinois, so that's where most of my friends are. As of March 1st, I'm a resident of Milwaukee, WI. I don't know anything about the area or too many people, which is partially why I'm starting this blog.
I'm not a terribly shy person, or a very awkward person, or extremely antisocial or anything. Really. I do have some anxiety in certain situations though, which I think most people can sympathize with. Do you like calling strangers on the phone? Neither do I. Being the first person to show up at a dinner reservation you didn't make? Hate it. Don't know if you want paper or plastic? Ok, you might be weirder than I am. The point is, there are a lot of things in life that are uncomfortable or outside of our comfort zone. So what to do? This is an exercise is expanding my comfort zone in a city I am very uncomfortable with currently. I have no delusions that everything I post here is going to be earth shattering or very special. Most of the stuff will probably basic and mundane things like trying strange food, probably wrapped around a review of a restaurant or something. Some might be goals I've had for a while but haven't done (skydiving, you will be mine). Suggestions are welcome. Either way, I'm going to try to post one thing a day that I was uncomfortable with. Maybe with a freak-out of meter? We'll see.
Anyway, UncomfortaBlog
