I think you need to write a post about things you've done right, things you want, and how you are going to move on and accomplish them. And each of your break-ups has been motivated by fear of this growth and change, rather than by nastiness or gossip. We play hide and seek with our own motives. Is this honesty?

But I’m entertaining or useful, and when I’m at my best, I’m both. I am completely unable to accomplish office politics and definite limit my time with other people for the reasons listed above. Get along with people for a little. Then go back to your cube. Don’t tell your boss. People don’t care about your random, personal crap.

It is the motivating factor to get up by not having the morning routine. Your posts are always entertaining, but what really gets me thinking is the comments from the loyal readers. You're accomplishing herculean tasks few women ever think of attempting. Then I leave early to get the kids. COULD you be one of these women?

After all, it's historical "entertainment" Surely more relevant modern English texts abound. Social media like twitter and facebook is all about making connections, which means knowing how to be entertaining or compelling to your target audience. Usually in 140 characters or less.

I totally think it's important to learn to think about subjects that are not necessarily applicable to a job, and am motivated to do so on my own. They must teach to tests, deal with ALL the kids in the class (and not just the motivated ones, etc.). Came back home and everybody was boring. I mean Big Ten size.
