Today hit me like a ton of bricks.

I realized that somehow aquired poor listening skills when I am off the job. When someone talks to me a response pops into my head and I am too busy with that, rather than listen to the rest of the story. I am sure that this has played a big role in my M deteriorating.

Combine that with a know it all attitude and no wonder W would not want to be with me.

My new goals for the next week is to:

1. Make eye contact when talking to others.

2. Shut up and listen and then listen some more.

3. Hold back on fixing things and only fix things when asked.


Silence is golden. Time for me to be golden.
