Terrible Threads

[dilligaf]

Sober, I disagree with your statement a bit.

It is human nature to be hurt by personal attacks. It is human nature to be concerned with how we are perceived by others. Human nature is nothing to apologize for.

The challenge...is to adopt the mental discipline to remember the fact that other people's opinions of us are none of our business. Of course it is our business. It is, after all, about us. How we deal with it is the key.

Another thing to remember is that carrying a resentment against another person is like swallowing poison and then waiting for them to die. Most of the time, I find that its a lot easier and better for my own mental health to just accept the fact that they are going to do what they are going to do.

The challenge is to find the mental discipline to remember that other people's opinion of us is JUST that, their opinion. We don't have to REACT to it at all.

I never claimed to be perfect. I have my own work to do.

Why isn't the person who is causing this held accountable? I didn't start the PM's. I didn't start the credibility crap. Why do I have to work on myself? This guy is in my local. I need the full faith and support of my local union management in a possible future grievance. I would not be surprised, based on his actions here, if he would try some funny business. This is not a typical situation.

Digging shallow graves?

Digging shallow graves?

No. I don't need to dig any graves, shallow or otherwise.

Way to step up, dilli. The same can be said for all of us.

Wait just a minute here......I'm thinking. I'm pretty close to perfect.

Your humility is your only flaw.

I decide to spend the day with my daughter and son-in-law in Albany and miss all the fun.

Did you know that Lutheran masses last 1 1/2 hours??

You know Upstate ... I'm not *that* far from Albany. We should have a beer sometime.

edit: And no, I did not know that.

Glens Falls? If so, your center manager used to be an on-car in my center.

There is no such thing as a terrible thread. They are all good.
They are like AA meetings. Can't say that i've ever been to a bad AA meeting.

I did not know that.
Catholic Masses have it down pat to 1hour.

Although I still check in daily I rarely see a thread worth posting on anymore. It seems to take less and less time to scroll through and see that there is nothing new, nothing of great interest to anyone but a few. Some people post because they have something to say. Others post because they have to say something. That's where the trouble starts.
