I found a formula once upon a time, to gauge the potential height of a person based on the height of the baby at the age of two years. I used it on Hockeybughow, and I was almost floored to learn the answer was 6’4”. His height now? 6’ 4”, minus the wear and tear on the bones by his age.
He was a lot like Pat...skinny and short...for the LONGEST time. Even when he reached 17, he was only eye-to-eye with me and I’m 5’9”. So don’t scratch Pat off the Tall Chart just yet!
Having money one doesn’t have to beg for from Mom and Dad, or siphon off from the “inheritance” is a good thing. Once I learned my skills were worth something to someone else, I suddenly LOVED my job!
However, I was always trying to improve myself, and move on to bigger and better things. Which is probably why the supervisors in the county job I held tried so hard to get rid of me.
If Inert is unhappy with his job, he should learn all he can about moving onward and upward, and what skills he will need, regardless of the area of employment. People skills are ALWAYS good to have.
So are math, organization and filing. :o])
The problem with having “people skills” is that eventually you end up having to deal with people.
There was a time when I wanted nothing more than to sit in my cubicle with reams of monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual tax-return data, turning all those numbers into tidy forms for 50 states, the District of Columbia, and every pathetic freepin town in Kentucky.
Now, however, I appreciate my forays into the real world of Walmart, my church, and Weight Watchers meetings, because the people at my job site complain all the time and throw things and can’t go to the bathroom on their own.
