Susan47,
What can I say? You were the first girl I flirted with, and you were the first one to say to me, "Get lost, you bug me." There has alway been something about you that intrigues me. Your various facets, from sexpot to vulnerable to opinionated to bummed out to supportive to critical. Sounds like there's a little bit of you for all of us. I used to get hurt when you'd ignore me. But that was usually because you were helping someone else or spilling your guts. I never felt as comfortable as you do starting a thread. Anyway, I'm glad I got the minefield of Admin out of my system and came over to Social to play. It was fun to pull your pigtails.
Work is important to me. I'm really very good at engaging clients. It takes some skill to schmooze your way into a way elderly woman's house. I must have a trustworthy face and voice. But I don't follow up well anymore. And so many people reject help or let their so-called loving children exploit them or become confused and forget you or get sick and die that I leave a little piece of me with them. I feel like I'm out of pieces sometimes. It's sad really. I used to love my job and the people that I work with. They're mostly women and I love women. Guys are so busy tring to piss farther than each other. I'm just an OK pisser.
I'll watch periodically. And jump in when I see someone ignored or I think I have something smart or stupid to add. But mostly I feel like it's time to get back to work. I've dug a big hole there and I better use whatever pieces I have left. I love you Susan. You make me so mad at you sometimes. But mostly you were there to pick me up when I fell on m yass.
