What's the point.<br /><br />I realized that making an excuse not to do something only made the person asking come up with a way out of my excuse. Now I'm always totally honest about why I can't participate in their crazy scheme!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555606528434199774.post-22841116981981761582012-02-12T13:32:38.497-06:002012-02-12T13:32:38.497-06:00Hey, where is my comment?!

Darn blogger and its stupid glitches!!!<br /><br />Aaaanyway, just so that you know, even though it is almost a month later, I did comment or at least tried to, but blogger disagreed and ate my comment. <br /><br />Stating my meaning as simple, clear and directly as possible often makes me sound very much like a heartless bitch, which I don't mind anymore, as long as I am not a misunderstood one. I used to get upset because everyone at work thought I was stand-off-ish and cold, since I talked only when I had something to say and even then not too much. But I got over that soon, I was there to work, not socialize. They were happy to see me go initially, but then, when they finally saw how efficient I was and how things went so wrong without me, almost everyone wrote me to tell me how much they missed me. It was such a sweet moment... :-) <br /><br />Thanks for the video. <br /><br />And don't feel pressured or anything, but it IS February, you know? You write the best comments ever, but this does not exempt you from writing posts as well. :-D <br /><br />Blogger, shut up and upload this one, please.Minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148000699685037451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555606528434199774.post-5323893615060465142012-02-09T22:48:23.459-06:002012-02-09T22:48:23.459-06:00I wonder why that is about Thursdays.

Anyway, I really enjoyed your advice here and appreciate your writing style.<br /><br />That's funny about Thursdays. At times I have noticed the significance of things happening on certain dates/days of the week, but not thought too much about it.<br /><br />I also like what you said about: "When you say what you mean, in a clear and direct manner, you are less likely to make people angry." I agree w/ Mel that it is great advice and also wish more people did this.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555606528434199774.post-37931668947409563012012-02-03T20:20:04.779-06:002012-02-03T20:20:04.779-06:00I don't have the answer either, but censorship...I don't have the answer either, but censorship SURE isn't it!

I really loved the idea that the conductor makes music without making a sound ... by empowering others to be their utter best. A thought that could sustain me for days (and has). :) Interesting to think ... about how we 'conduct' the people around us.<br /><br />I thought that the trouble I was having with websites was due to the crappy condition of my laptop ... until Mike pointed me to Google Chrome. AHA! I figured I must have been the last to know, right?
