    I have a 3 day work conference coming up and will need to constantly remind myself that they are a bunch of normies who won’t appreciate my humor or atypical value system.

      There will be others telling themselves the same thing. Be yourself, attract those like you. Start a cult. Take over the conference.

        Normally I agree with you. When I used to go to catering conventions I’d let let myself off the leash. Hospitality industry people appreciate my antics. By the end of those trips there would always be people coming up to me to ask, “Aren’t you the guy that ______?”

        This is a particularly small group (18 people including me and my director) and I’ve moved from hospitality to healthcare. I don’t know everyone super well but I know them well enough to know that I need to behave.
