To sing or not to sing?
I've been asked to sing for a company Christmas event. Not sure about it. Was inclined to give it a shot despite the late notice - i need time to practise! And we haven't even decided what to sing yet.
But my parents warned me not to do it. My mother expressly forbids me to sing. She says if I do this too often, people will only remember me for my singing and not for my work. I don't want that to happen, so if that is the case I won't sing. Of course, I do hope that by now, people will see me for who I am and not just remember me for 5 minutes on stage every half a year.
But one one hand we keep on saying we need more staff. Then the next thing people see is me taking part in these activities. Wouldn't that sound inconsistent? Fun as it may be to sing on stage once more...

(how i wish there was a trackback feature in Vox)
Wow, extra analysis on your blog? I still haven't decided what to do, yet. Quite torn between both sides...
