tomorrow is my first day at my new job.

i'm looking forward to it but i'm a little nervous as well.

other than my own computers and a couple of friend's computers, i haven't done a whole lot of this kind of work since 2004. of course before that, i did it exclusively for eleven years.

I must say that is a varied and rare set of skills. In my experience computer geeks are not people persons. Your being both is very unusual and your company should recognize that and reward your for it.

The tech lead told me that's the main reason they hired me. They need people they can send to the customer's house who can engage them and make them feel comfortable.

I get along with people very well in most situations and I have a natural affinity for computers so I'm confident I can excel in this job.

The only downside is that it's going to be part-time until they they've tested me out. I'm hoping that doesn't take too long.

Releasing anger in healthy ways

by Lady Lee in

releasing anger in healthy ways.

how we express our anger can be helpful or harmful to us and others.

a lot of people think that getting angry is a sign of loss of control, a weakness.

Abandoned

Thank you Lady Lee for your anger thesis. I especially appreciate the suggestions at the end.

Update: The tech who was going to train me had to stay home with a sick daughter today so my first day will be tomorrow instead. So now I'm all dressed up in my new clothes and I have no where to go. I guess I'll grab Goblet of Fire and find me a nice cozy coffee shop.

Thank you Hill, my set of pens and calculators appreciates your blessing.

I appreciate the help Princess XOCO.

Thanks for sending the positive vibes NJ.

So far so good, cognac. I talked a little bit with the lead tech and he told me what he expected of me. They want someone who's good at computers and people. The two together are my specialty so I think it's going to go well.

You're awesome Dinah, thanks for the kind words.

I appreciate the luck and well wishes Maddie.

That was a wonderful thing to say changeling.

Thanks to everyone who sent positive vibes and helped me with my resume and the interview.

Let me bother you one more time, please, to send me some positive vibes so I can get a good night's sleep and make a great impression tomorrow. I love every one of you. Even if we've had disagreements.

TOUCHDOWN!!!

by Abandoned in

yeah, that's what i'm talking about.

donald driver is the maaaaaaan!.

Abandoned

Abandoned - didn't he have a long toss to #80?

Well, there was the 90 yard touchdown pass in the 2nd, but most of that was Donald Driver running. I guess it still should be considered a big play since Favre got the ball to him at a good spot.

I didn't see it happening, but the Giants did it. WOW! And Favre didn't have a single big play. That's what surprises me the most.

What type of person are you attracted to now?

by Layla33 in

i was just thinking about this the other day, about how my ideas of a romantic partner have changed since being a jw.. growing up, i thought i would marry a very upstanding jw, we would pioneer together, do missionary work, have children, see the world.

(never had any thoughts about bethel, though.

) so what it boiled down to was a stepford husband, up tight, not the least bit sexual, closed minded bore.. so now that i have grown up, seen the world, been married (and actually picked a good man the first time, although it didn't work out), i just contrast that with what i am attracted to now.. i like them open minded, earthy, i love artistic types because i am a published writer, hair doesn't matter to me (long/short, bald, etc), challenges convention, very sexual, still like a traveling man.. i am just curious if you anyone else can compare and contrast how their ideas have changed since breaking out the group-think of the jw organization..

Abandoned

You like big guys too??

I was going to edit that. I knew I should have. I knew I should have edited it.

LOL.

Nope, I like women with some extra baggage as they call it.

I like my guy to be over weight.I like to cuddle and it just feels better to do it with a big guy.

Me too. The sex is soooo much better.
