You're welcome Randall!

Philbird - I'm trying not to go insane at work! Hahaha, it's so incredibly boring at this point. 22 days left yet it seems like forever! I'm sure I will survive, but July feels like it's gonna suck because of this job so I'm just hanging on! I've resorted to staring at my daily planner sometimes, and sneaking in my lists under my keyboard...I wrote a massive to-do list today! It's horrible because this job doesn't even have work for us n00bs still, it's ridiculous...they might hear about that in my exit interview!

How do i follow
--or connect--
Empathy,
Communcation skills,
An understanding of character,
And web research/publishing
so that I may help my freinds.

My freinds are my family.
They all seem to need my help.
I have been losing my means lately.

I had went from being the warrior...
--
50-60 hours weekly,
restaurant management,
showing up, doing my best,
often over exerting myself,
but I was not happy with it,
I had money yet no time,
I supported my family
--
...to loosing my job
to a quit replacement job--
my car breaking down,
preventing me from working.

I am getting down to the bone
The money i had saved up,
was just a cushion of air with a hole.

I agree with Linda on saving money,
If you prepare for a rainy day,
you just might get one.
I also have the Taurus security issue.

The hard part is making ends meet.
Those that I have helped,
Desire to help
Yet times are tight for them,
I don't want to be a burdon or depressing--
Especially to those closest to me,
With whom I have developed stronger bonds,
also with whom my emotions seem contagious.

Something says I could be good in politics,
But health is my most favorite issue.
I would love to be a healer,
I like herbs and physical training,
Also I am excellant in research,
But feel I need to learn more---
I guess that makes me good at it!
I try to give away my time as a researcher,
but I have yet to find anyone who wants it.
My empathy makes me like a conselor,
that is where I have built bonds,
but the part that gets me the most
is the need to supply simpley living.

What I REALLY hate is the way people "above one in the pecking order", as it were, come down on you like a ton of bricks for doing minor things in your own way - as if there was only one way to do a job. I HATE taking orders from people and particularly "tinpot dictators" of that kind. There is also zero appreciation, I never fit in w. all the corporat stuff, and in the end I find myself deliberately behaving badly (I fell asleep once on a Saturday night post doing data entry/telephony) and ultimately walking out.
