    @teekc: You are quite lucky! Although, if I were you, I'd sell it on eBay and use the money to buy a Creative Zen Touch Mp3 player! :thumb: :rolling:

    My work is crazy...

    I have one manager who is younger than me, has less experience than me, and only got a manager position by giving sexual favors to her GM before she got transferred to my store. I have another manager who loves me, and doesn’t care what the hell I do while I'm on the clock, so long as the co manager of the general manager aren’t there. I have a co-worker who has a major crush on me, but I can't stand to listen to her...or even be near her. I have another co-worker who likes me, but has a boyfriend, so we just flirt like crazy. And there is this new girl who can do the job...but still acts like a 4 year old, which can be amusing - if you need a quick laugh, all you have to do is poke her in the side and watch her reaction...

    I really hate my job...but most of the people there are pretty cool. I hate to say it, but I'm actually going to miss it once I get my manager's position at Cold Stone. :cry:

    Which, by the way, I leave for training on Jan. 16th...which is set in stone this time, as the plane tickets, hotel room, and ground transportation have all been arranged and paid for. :banana: :rolling:

    Well, Garak... if you want to come to some agreeable terms with your teachers, you need to learn to stand up to them. So far as matters of science or arts go, some teachers actually expect you to do that. People who really want to teach you something, expect you to defend your views even from them and to be able to do that in a reasonable and competent way. But not all teachers are like that. Some teachers, especially if we consider arts, simply can't get over the fact that a student disagrees with them and doesn't bow to their superior taste. :rolleyes: Let alone what happens when it comes to ethical issues. :rolleyes: Those will only respect you if you stand up to them. Especially if you do that competently. It's not like they will admit a mistake (and who's saying that, hehe), but they know when they aren't right.

    As for the girl... it's not bad if your feelings for her are strong. Even if they make you do things you wouldn't otherwise do. Problems start when feelings cloud your conscience and you start doing bad things because your love interest wants you to. Or when the love interest abuses that power.

    If a girl has real feelings for you (friendly or romantic, just real), she won't humiliate you and she won't ask things of you that are against your conscience or would hurt your self-esteem. Someone who does that is not the right person for you and the sooner you move on, the better for you.

    You can learn a lot of useful things at an early stage. For example, if a girl doesn't bother to be polite to someone who clearly cares for her, how would she treat a boyfried, fiance... husband, children... Or if she abuses the influence she has on you because of your feelings, what guarantee do you have that she won't play games with you even if the relationship finally happens? Or if she can't stick to one guy and fools around with other guys as well, how can you be sure that she will care, let alone have the resolve, to stay faithful in a lasting long-term relationship?

    It never hurts to watch how she treats her family and friends. Heck, even how she treats guys who hit on her. If she's cruel to other guys who hit on her (assuming they aren't rude about it) because she prefers you over them, will she have much consideration for your feelings if you fail to satisfy her one way or another?

    But if you just see that you care a lot for the girl and you could do just about everything for her, it isn't bad. Especially if you affect her the same way and you both genuinely like each other apart from feeling strong mutual attraction, and respect each other. Respect is crucial here, with all the influence you have on each other - or just she on you.

    Oh my, am I ranting...

    Its random babble not ranting... there should be a 3 day non ranting amnesty, turn in all your rantings and avoid devine retribution! :rolling:

    SHEEEEEE May be the face I can't forget
    The trace of pleasure or regret
    May be my treasure or the price I have to pay...

    It's a rainy summer's day here. Not too hot at 21 degrees, but a few showers from time to time. There's a nice breeze coming in off the harbour. Just nice. Roll on Christmas!
