How to Be Mentally Insane

Sometimes I think that I’m insane.  At work, I tend to have flashes of insanity at least once a day.  Insanity in our lives can stem from a lot of things (kids, work, money, alcohol, traffic, etc.).  And I don’t think we need to pay a therapist $100.00 an hour to tell us that we are in fact, insane. 

I’m offering this list of “Ways to Be Insane” or at least “Things to do to make people think you’re insane.”  I’m bogged down with these job applications and today I actually have a sort of interview.  I’m calling it a pre-interview interview.  So I spent most of last night researching the organization and practicing my spiel about my level of awesomeness.  I’m nervous but confident.  I’m so ready for a challenging job.  I will try to be normal and not talk about things like, Penis Hats, Breastfeeding, my fur children, and Bingo.  Honestly, in real life-I think that I come off as a rather normal person.  I think.

  1. Good luck with the pre-interview interview! Crossing my fingers for you.

  2. I liked the last one. Here are two more — my all-time favorites:

    1) Look at everyone in the room through the tines of a fork. Imagine them all in jail and deny them parole.

    2) Dance naked in front of your pets.

    Even if people don’t think you’re insane, you will feel a real sense of freedom. :)
