> More questions for club members:
> Holidays -- cards? Gifts? I'm thinking something little and symbolic.The 1st year I gave a card, but not since. I have on occasion given inexpensive gifts throughout the year.
> Office comfort -- too hot, too cold - Do you speak up or dress in layers?
Dress in layers, or actually in my case, dress light 'cause it's always hot.
> You drive in the parking lot at the same time. You are a tiny bit early (8 min). Do you wait until they go in to the building or get out and walk in with them.(I was saved by the bell - my cell rang!)
I usually wait until two or three minutes before my session before I go in.
> Your appointment usually falls on Thursday. Do you make an appointment on another day that you KNOW will be totally booked and you are being "sqeezed" in (admitting to the NEED)...or do you skip to the next week? (
Most of the time I would wait until the next week unless I felt I was in the middle of something that couldn't wait that long.
> About reading Psych books - do you tell what you are reading? Give them a copy?No, it seems my shrink doesn't like to talk shop with me.
