Scowly McScowlerson
My job requires a lot of thinking. It also places me in a state of constant confusion. I approach everything with a scowl that says "What exactly is going on here??"
But I've always been a scowler. I learned in church at an early age how to look like I was paying attention even though I was really a million miles away. A million miles. That's pretty darn far away, and yet, it looked like was taking everything in the second it came out of your mouth.
This basically has caused me to constantly have a scowl on my face. My "relaxed face" is a scowl. When I'm walking down the street, driving, watching TV, or staring at the wall, it always looks like I'm ready to kick someone's ass.
Now, with this job, I've added an open mouth or puckered lips to my scowl. So let's add that to the list.
At any time, I can look like I'm
1. Going to kick someone's ass
2. Disgusted by your existence
3. Smelling a horrible smell
When someone comes up to me and starts talking, I squint (also part of my scowl). When I do this, my glasses tend to slip out of place. So now I'm squinting, scowling and shoving my glasses back up my nose.

I don't know what it is that makes my face scrunch up and contort when I'm thinking. It's like I'm trying to focus all my energy into the center of my forehead.
Coffee doesn't help this. It adds manic knee bouncing to my list of scowls.
Oh, by the way, this job has also destroyed my coffee resolution. I cut myself off from coffee at lunch time, but that means between 8:30 and 1:00, I've had at least 6 mugs of coffee. Goddamn free coffee that takes 90 second to brew. *shakes fist (with a scowl)*
ETA: I just added a snarl to my scowl. A teeth baring, could be growling snarl.
