> > Being on time - What does too early or too late mean?
> I am always 10 -15 minutes early to show that I am just as professional as he is. Too early means you are too eager. Too late means you are disrespectful.> > Dressing for the visit: Do you think about it? If so, what does that mean?
>Of course I think about what to wear!! I change my clothes at least 3 times before I go! I always dress in something nice, usually a nice shirt and dress pants, to show him that we are on the same level. Never wear the same clothes in the same month! Soemtimes I dress nicer than he does and he comments on it. I like that!

> How many times is sneaking a glance at the clock or your watch allowable per session?
> Depends on if he is annoying me or asking hard questions!
> What about note taking? In order to be perfect I always have my journal. If he assigns homework I write it down. If he says something provoking, I write it down. If he gets long-winded, I doodle. He never writes anyhting down. I am jealous of his memory.

> I really like this thread. I know I am very jealous of his other clients. I told him one time that I prefer to think that he doesn't have any other clients. He laughed. I didn't. One time after I left he went to get another client and I was paying and I saw her. She was prettier than I was. I almost cried. The next session I asked him if I was his favorite client. Has anyone else asked that question? He said that was a hard question but that I was way up there. That made me feel good. He said he really liked the kids he helps because they play basketball. I told him I could play basketball. He laughed. I didn't. It seems he laughs a lot and I don't. Karen
