Quote: When you've expressed doing your own thing in the past how has he handled it--encouraging or stifling?
depends very much what "my own thing" happens to be.
ie: when I told h that I had called the gym to sched an appointment to look at it to join up, he was happy for me.
h does not ever discourage me from going out and doing things with my friends or making new ones.
when I mentioned the possibility of getting a part time job h was all for it and suggested when I was going to be at walmart that day why not pick up an application even asked about it later to see if I had.
but for some reason my going back to school seems to be some kind of threat? I don't know, could be a money issue, perhaps he doesn't really know how much it would cost and is thinking of it like undergraduate school with a big bill? or maybe he feels threatend that I may meet more people "like me" there, maybe a man more like me?
anyone who knows h, would never see him as insecure or sensitive, infact most view him as pretty confident in himself.
think that for now I will work the gym thing in, do some research on school costs and potential for earnings with and without the masters and at another time bring it up with h.
we are planning to leave tommorrow evening for our mini ski trip. there is still a threat of snow leaving the possibitly that we will have to cancel. that really bites and I don't see it as all that neccissary, I mean after all he does let his employees go away for ski and/or snow-mobile trips. why can't the boss get a break????
