You get comfortable with those you like and respect, it's as simple as that. As you grow to like a person and respect them, then you will naturally come to a comfortable state. Respect is not always necessary. wink But yeah, it's a rare person (and a foolish one?) who gets too comfortable too quickly.

Well, I suppose. But I guess there's gotta be some sort of comfort level I still need to reach. I'm not saying I'm going to outright trust everyone, but...ya know? Be more accessible, I guess. Be more comfortable than I am now? O_o

That put me in mind of that South Park show with the little boy who whenever he gets near a certain little girl throws up on her. lol
I guess that would be the really nervous end of things...and complete trust would be the other end of things. Anyhow, of course there is a spectrum.

Hi, all, I'm back on after a week of literally no activity. A lightning storm last week hit close to my house and knocked out my cable connection! No internet and no TV for a week until they could fix it...and it kicked me out right in the middle of the Heroes season premiere crying
Ethan, I thnk it's more a matter of learning the skills (by trial and error if nothing else) to gain any sort of comfort level in any situation. For example, I was terrified of public speaking in Jr. High, so I took every class they offered on it between then and college. Now I'd much rather speak alone in front of a large group than one-on-one with a stranger...uh, come to it, that might not be the best example, but you get my point, don't you? Practice, learn, and find your balance while doing it.
In other news, I'm two weeks in on the new job and I'm really enjoying it so far. The pay check especially is very nice. About the only complaint is that there's literally no parking. Literally. I have to drive to the movie theater parking lot and get bussed in from there. There's something very wrong about leaving the house 45 minutes before my shift starts to travel a total of something less than four miles.... Ach, vell, c'est la vie, yes?

Trial and error seems to be what everyone's unanimously endorsing! I suppose if I must, I must!
And yes, quite the c'est la vie, GR!! That is a long time to for not that big a distance! No carpooling??

Congrats that you are enjoying your job GR, but that is sucky about the parking.
And in other news...my company is moving. I live 3 miles from where I work, it takes me 10 min to go down the road to work. Now they will be anywhere from 30 min to 45 min from where I live. So I am thinking about moving. Ugh. That would cost me about $3500 to do. Not an easy decision. But I don't like to commute first off. Next I think I would like a bigger place. So...I am cogitating.

The problem is that the hospital is right smack in the center of downtown, and it was built nearly a hundred years ago when people weren't thinking, "Let's just rope off this huge field here for employees to park their horse and carriages." There're people who've been working there for twelve years who only have parking rights in one of the satelite lots (which means they still have to walk/bus the better part of a mile). *shrugs* There's a ton of people who work there, and a ton more who are patients there. Patients get parking preference; that's just the way it goes. (Actually, I'm kind of enjoying it - it's a little slice of time in the morning to enjoy the grey of dawn before sunrise, a really beautiful time of day.)

I must have posted right after you did, Umar! I didn't see your post!
Sux about the job moving. But you could think of this as an opportunity. A bigger place, like you say, and a chance to experience someplace new. And about the $3500.... think of it this way: with gas prices as high as they are, you'll recoup that in no time with the money you'll save on the commute!

@GR - I don't think I could live like that. I have always chosen the paths in life that keep me in handy, close up, parking spaces. ^^ Heh, there is some truth to that though. I don't think I have ever commuted a far distance.
I wonder how much I would really save in gas? See...that extra would go into paying for a larger place, meh, I would not end up saving anything really. It's a tough decision. Really tough for me. It's not the money really, it's the bother.

But then you have to consider the bother of moving. That's packing everything and then unpacking everything. Not to mention actually going out to find a place, plus transfering the addresses on your utilities and other services. And, ya know, a place where we can send our bills >_>

I actually don't mind moving, it's rather fun even though you are right, it is a bother. I would hire someone to pack me up, move me, and unpack me. That is why it would cost about $3500. Utilities are very easy to transfer. It would be a drag to have to get a new driver's license. Mail can be forwarded easily. But all of these things, tedious though they might be, might make my life easier in the long run. If I am going to stay at this job for a few more years then I would like to be close to it. The place where they are moving, Owings Mills, is a very nice place. They have beautiful apts there in gated communities with many amenities. These places are upscale and have exercise rooms, pools, and tennis courts (some of them). In exchange for that I leave a place that has 1113 sq foot of room, plus a storage room. I would like a 3 bedroom apt with more space though and I think I can find a place to accomodate my needs. *ponders*

I managed to slip Thursday night and the driveway's impact with the back of my head has given me the wonderful opportunity to experience a concussion. I think I'll be ok so I don't plan on seeing a doctor unless my condition doesn't improve by tomorrow or Monday. I've been spending most of the day laying in bed, avoiding light and sound. Well, my condition has improved over the time period so far, but the pounding headache just won't go away, and all I own is aspirin, which I read I shouldn't take. I tried ice an hour ago and that helped a little. I am able to keep my food inside my stomach as well today, heh.

Nah. I am feeling much better now that I have got a few meals and glasses of water in me. With any luck I'll be set to go on Monday.
