It's a shame you shut them out though- I have made some great friends and contacts through my jobs. You have to be nice, if ONLY for networking purposes! If I didn't network my butt off I wouldn't have my current job.


ETA: This fostering of goodwill is especially important in non-profits. It's like working for a little family in my experience.

Oh, I'm very nice, Soror! For real! But only to a point. I've made great friends from my past jobs, but it's after I've been there for a while. I'm not going to be buddy-buddy with EBERYBODY. I don't want to hear about EVERYBODY's issues at home and daycare and sex lives and politics. That stuff has a place, and to me, the office is not it.

ETA: I'm not always trusting of people that I work with. You never know what will come out in conversation and how it will be used against you later. I've learned from my mistakes. Networking is one thing (I network even better than I procrastinate, if you can believe that, lol). Extradimensional relationships (I made that up, I like it) are another.

But you are right on one account: I do need to start my own business. I will neva eva be happy working for someone else, lol. That is the truth!!!

I'm really not a cold binch. But what am I saying, you know me.

You don't know ANY republicans????? NONE??? Allow me to invite you into my circle of friends. I love these people, but I swear, I don't know why they think the way they do, lol.
