Mary,

It's always a wise course of action to manage expectations anywhere and anytime in this life. Expectations are hidden mine fields, so try to remember that they are typically ego-centric anyway.

So dial everything down about 10 decibels. Do twice as much listening as talking, and you might want to brush up on validation techniques that are in Wonka's thread here in Newcomers.

Good luck!

Betsey
