'You'll get bored' he said. <br /><br />As for being a slow learner, I've often found that slower learners are more thorough and never forget. The 'quick' ones tend to be slapdash and forget everything. <br /><br />I can almost hear the enthusiasm in your voice when you write of your new job. Its good to work at something you believe in and love doing. CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you, I mean it!Maundering muttererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007758736758966777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-23699617770183221652010-12-09T20:49:27.499-08:002010-12-09T20:49:27.499-08:00I'm glad you love your new job.

That's why I haven't been able to write regularly. That and because I'm kinda busy these past few weeks. :)Gnetchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483803287818641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-14619538181223766032010-12-09T12:39:39.865-08:002010-12-09T12:39:39.865-08:00Thanks for telling us about it Israel, and I am re...Thanks for telling us about it Israel, and I am really happy for you about this new job.

It's great to find there's something better out there. I mean thank God they fired your ass, because it gave you a chance to do something you really like instead.<br /><br />Hostel indeed.VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-15813960332247946322010-12-09T11:25:27.353-08:002010-12-09T11:25:27.353-08:00Yay for the new gig and I'm crossing my finger...Yay for the new gig and I'm crossing my fingers and will say a few Hail Marys for the other job as well! Wow, your post broached parts of my life! I know exactly what you mean by feeling like a loser and thinking you're "that" girl/guy that doesn't get asked the prom. And as someone else posted, had you kept on the same path emotional wise, you're humor would have died along with your soul. TRUST ME. I'm glad that was not the case with you and I wish you the best of luck and success! You're a very talented person, I've told you that before! This post is a testament to that. You turned a troubled and serious matter into funny. I know, I know, when you're down in the dumps or teetering on the verge of falling into that black hole aka known as depression, it's kind of difficult to feel good about yourself. Totally get that. But shake it off! Celebrate the good things you have to offer! I'm so glad you are in my virtual world! I can always count on you to make me laugh! Keep us posted on the other job!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038918668619367960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-1840128110789922362010-12-09T10:45:12.803-08:002010-12-09T10:45:12.803-08:00cool story br...

You know, where people rise to the level of their incompetence, but you had the reverse. It's a good thing you didn't stay there. You would have been a zombie and your humor would have died. I believe that from everything bad something good occurs and sometimes, it's just good timing and other times it's karma. Sounds like your got your karma, dude. I think everyone can certainly relate and you give a lot folks in hard times hope. Hell, my son is graduating from college with a Bachelor's degree in a couple weeks and he's going to stay working at the warehouse he's been working in because he can't find work anywhere else. I wish he could have had the experience I had in 84 and come out with too many offers to decide between. Timing, once again But, Karma will get him in the end with a blessing, just like it did you.Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-91044230472713131182010-12-09T08:01:35.164-08:002010-12-09T08:01:35.164-08:00its funny but bit too long :)its funny but bit too long :)Mister Sharafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037301918605272211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-23775803412886948012010-12-09T05:33:55.589-08:002010-12-09T05:33:55.589-08:00super long post. but man, i laughed a few times &q...super long post. but man, i laughed a few times "funny as the word -the-"Poetry of the Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198064593715494884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-30711312488041979972010-12-09T03:39:38.658-08:002010-12-09T03:39:38.658-08:00I was in a job like that once.

So...Israel, this post is filled with life lessons. Sometimes, when things seem hopeless, hope materializes out of the blue. Every one of us has felt like a loser from time to time and we have all experienced failure and rejection. At the same time there are countless people who have it worse than you or me. Helping those less fortunate makes us feel like a winner again and can get us on a roll. I am very much the same as you in that it takes me forever to learn a new set of skills. My brain isn't wired in such a way that it's easy for me to read and follow instructions. I learn by asking lots of questions. If I can't get my questions answered I feel lost, ashamed and incompetent. I know from experience, however, that once I learn something I usually master it. I end up doing the job better than those who picked it up in a snap. Thank you for this revealing post and best wishes for a future of prosperity, my friend.Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
