Seems like people are always ready to assist you into failure as if it will redeem their own failures, but they totally miss the point that success is not a solo-act and multitudes may benefit from the success of one. Your personal success with this fundraiser, if it helps just one person, will be a success for so, so many more.Sidhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997017630623707478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-61920772119420678592009-03-14T18:59:00.000-07:002009-03-14T18:59:00.000-07:00G: That is horrifying.

We work with a woman at the department of human services who specializes in youth suicide prevention - this is a big part of our message, because 1 in 10 children has a mental illness. And as you know, it was only about a decade ago that people started to acknowledge that children COULD have them.<BR/><BR/>V and D: I have had so many awful bosses - yellers, sexists, incompetents - that I made him promise not to quit anytime soon!

I wish I could wear jeans). I'm also glad that you kept at it while other people verbalized their low expectations. <BR/><BR/>When I first started my current job, about four years ago, I had all sorts of ideas. My boss never really allowed much of them to go anywhere. So, for the most part, I keep a lot of ideas to myself and channel the energy to other creative hobbies outside of work. I hate working for a dream-killer, but I do like being able to work.<BR/><BR/>So, really, I'm glad that your management is a bit better than mine. Support and freedom from a boss is like a dream of mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36472527.post-48876795269524800072009-03-14T16:54:00.000-07:002009-03-14T16:54:00.000-07:00Good for you !
