I struggle with this question...I work in downtown Chicago,
and do a daily study as I pass hundreds of people each day. Without fail, some people are unflappable and cocksure about themselves, and some are hesitant and
timid. I can't for the life of me act with them same confidence as the many folks I walk past. I also pass
by hundreds in a major office tower each day, and they all
seem quite sure about themselves. For the life of me, I can't pull it out. My self-consciousness always gets the best
of me. I've always wondered how people can be so sure of
themselves.
It seems to me more an act than anything else, like you are performing a little show for people. Attorneys have this
downpact, along with bankers. Just goes with the territory.
All the investment bankers that I deal with have the same
strong walk about them. I think that it is more important
than the content of what they know and say. I'll even say
that body language rulesIts where success truly begins and ends

My boss had said he wanted everyone to stay to a certain time, but I clocked out an hour early, which is what I was scheduled to. Other people left at this time, and each of us was first questioned by our boss. He's in front of the door, holding it mostly closed, physically blocking the way out. He asked why I was leaving and if I could stay longer several times before letting me through. He's done something similar to this before. How do I deal with that?

Hi there. I was wondering what kind of career or job you could pursue by making graphics. Right now I'm 14 and I enjoy making icons/avatars/signatures/banners/etc for people online, and it's quite fun.

I am a private duty LPN. A few months back I had to do CPR on my patient, she's only 27 and I am very close to her. Now I am having nightmares and panic attacks. I think the two are related. I want to quit but being so close to the pt. and her family I just don't know how to do it. Any real help is appreciated.

So, I had to take a drug test on thursday for employment. Well, I smoke pot pretty much daily...and I stopped when I found out I had to take the test. I was clean for a week and a half...ONLY drank water and cranberry juice all week, took b-12 vitamins, goldenseal root pills AND bought body flush to drink that day (the 32 oz. "extra strength" one...and it was fcking nasty. lol) and continued to drink water that day...and took the test.

What do you all think? Pass or fail?



I'm a little worried. But, I'll be finding out the results Monday - - and if I pass...I'm guaranteed the job...starting TUESDAY!

(which means I'll be screwing over my current job, since I'm a full timer. haha)
I know, I know...I shouldn't be smoking...but sh*t happens. So, if you don't like drugs, ignore this post. I'm looking for serious opinions here.
Thanks guys! <3

I am a new nursing grad and I just took a drug test for my new job. They said my urine was not the correct temp and dumped it out. It was grounds for immediate termination. Is there anything I can do to fight it. I went and paid $60 to have my own 8 panel drug screen done, so I can prove I am clean. I would appreciate any ideas, or advice. Thanks.
