Chris, I know I already told you this, but you have a gift of wit or comedy and whether it gets you into trouble at work or not, it made the wife and I laugh. I had a fun little encounter last week interviewing for new contracts and I got asked the "tell me something personal about yourself your resume doesn't." I choked, froze... said screw it and proceeded to introduce this lady to my Icon corner in the family room with joy. Lady left the interview smiling saying was one of the best most unique experiences in an interview she's had. It's those little random encounters that really surprise and delight.
Also, Eastern Catholicism is definitely unique. Most Catholics don't even know what it is. Introducing it to people is a great "pattern interrupt" in the right context. If nothing else, it's certainly an ice-breaker.
Good people somehow find each other. We just have to remind ourselves that sometimes they wear a disguise. We get better at seeing the difference if we're lucky.

I love it! I’ve found it causes more stress and energy to fit in. If people don’t like who you are, you probably don’t want to work with them!

My wife already has some gems from this year's food festival, as well as a few memes.
