Snippets: no, engineers are not all weenies, of course not: just my point of view might be. Heck, engineers make and fix things (and so do artists and writers and farmers and cooks and doctors and wives and husbands and lots of people) and that is good! I really don't mean to judge, lest I be judged myself. In fact, my wife's judgmental nature is something I do not like about her.
Yes, I know that men are interested by more than just sports and cars; I just meant that they are not something that interests me.
Hi Accuray - thanks for the book suggestion. Will check it out.
Yes, passivity is not something my W likes or admires. Neither do I, for that matter! W dislikes her mother, for example, for not trying to improve the world.
Yes, I did settle for less. I don't know that I deserve more - what have I done or been to warrant this? At least we found a compromise.
I really don't like the idea of the 10 years between 55 (I am now) and 65 being as bad and as often empty as the last 10. People and friendships have been a weakness for me, so it seems worth working on that, especially given Mr. Bond's guarantee. Having kids has been so good and wonderful, but now they are slowly separating from home.
Being in the EE classroom will surely be different than the real world, safer, more supportive, positive. I hope that the combination of my will, the group I hope to find there, and what I learn will make real world changes possible. One hope is that repetitive role play of situations will improve my reactions to them.
No, I didn't mean that you were trying to insult me, sandi2. I am sorry if it came across that way.
I couldn't answer the question the C posed today: "how much are you worth?" measured in what? dollars? time? the ability to do something?
I don't deserve anything (sure, pay for work or services rendered). Why should the world owe me anything?
