Just a quick update.. been networking at a convention for the past couple days. Have some other thoughts about all of that, but it's been keeping me busy from 7am-9pm.
Did speak briefly with WAW yesterday as she was trying to coordinate picking up some stuff. I was on my way out the door and I think my tone of voice might have been a little impatient.. I was worried about getting across town on time, and really didn't want to deal with her wants, especially given the circumstances. Just made it clear that since it wasn't a matter of life or death, I didn't have time to take care of it.
I took care of it today, and left her a bag of tomatoes and garlic.. I texted her know the stuff was going to be available for her to get and she texted back "Thanks. I hope you have a great day."
She was emphatic about how great she thought I would be w/ the networking stuff (why, I don't know..she always complained about my introversion and refusal to be more sociable). I think perhaps some of my "introversion" was really shyness, so I've been doing my best to not be a victim to that limitation. I think I'm doing a good job so far, with a couple lapses.
Read the N.U.T.S book a few days ago. Interesting ideas, but I can't say it rocked my world. Some of the stuff just seemed silly. But the emphasis on integrity and self-respect certainly resonated with me.
