ALRIGHT DAWG!!! :woohoo:

good luck matey. hope all goes well. :thumbup:

Thanks, Dunc!

It's been two and a half years since I was employed. I hope I can remember how to nod and smile a lot, for the first few days. :laugh:

Don't forget the eye contact,  for some reason NT's seem to feel this is important.  As in, if you don't, they don't think your listening to them!   It's a trick to make eye contact just enough to satisfy them, without violating your own sense of self!   ::)

But you can look at their forehead or their mouth instead, if it makes you feel uncomfortable to gaze into their eyes.

Good advice, Ozy!

I do OK in that department, though. I've had a lot of practice and on my good days, eye contact is a valuable psychological tool I can wield. The expectation that some people have for eye contact was fairly well slapped into me by the time I hit puberty. Even public school teachers used to slap to "get your attention" if you weren't looking right at them. By the time I was in elementary school, they had mostly stopped using sticks on kids in my neck o' the woods, except paddles for the booty, but they still slapped the "problem children."

I got sent to the principal's office because I wouldn't look at my fourth grade teacher's eyes. It grossed me out, because they were so caked with mascara that I could literally hear her blink about ten or twelve feet away, at my desk. I always sat up front, because I couldn't stand anyone in front of me. The noise was her lashes as they stuck together and pulled apart on every blink. It was very rhythmic and it always made me think of soldiers marching in mud, but it was in slow motion.
She was a bitch in lots of ways.

Callaway, more good advice. It's not a problem at all, except when I am overloaded. Most of the time I feel that coming on, too.

I got this one licked. I really do.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Not very much up to now.  It looks like a lovely day though.  Well, for October anyway.

Got everyone ready, took the kids to school and Xan to pre-school, then went to watch the school's harvest service.  It was such a beautiful day that we had a walk around the village and sat in the sun for a while afterwards till it was time to go pick Xan up.  Its still a beautiful day. :)

Dog sat for the last day I'll miss him.  Worked on a older house removing siding blowing insulation and replacing siding.

Worked and then went to class (listened to the teacher accuse everyone but a few people of plagarizing) When I got home I dropped a heavy fucking piece of furniture on my foot while putting together for my parents.   Hung out with some friends smoking weed and playing Halo 3 for the rest of the night.   
:P   Internets are super serious.
