Magic, One more question for you to think about. Don't friends meet over coffee and/or lunch to connect as friends and catch up on each other's lives or to share things w/each other? Don't you ever go to lunch w/friends during the work day? Most people do try to catch up w/friends who are in their area during the business hours for either a coffee or lunch? Why do you think that connection needs to take place outside of the work? It can happen any where at any time. I think you need to think about why you think it needs to be done only after work.
Magic, I can't make any exceptions to providing you advice right now. Why? Because you need to make some decisions/moves on your own. We aren't going down the road of circular conversations any more...that's over and done with and again, I will listen, provide you support and cheer you on and yes, ask questions to make you think for yourself so that you can make decisions for yourself.
BTW, it's time for a new thread. This one now has 104 postings.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
