Social Science - 23 March 2007

I'm beginning to see a disturbing pattern emerge in
the jobs that I have worked -- any job, retail or
otherwise. I start a new job filled with energy and
enthusiasm, and work very, very hard (sometimes to the
point of physical exhaustion). By about the end of the
first week, however, and especially with retail and
sales jobs like food running, I begin to make hand-eye
coordination mistakes such as (for example) spilling
an entire 10+ gallon container of iced tea on the
floor as I take it to the elevator in the kitchen to
send downstairs. Or yesterday, when balancing three
plates on my right arm and hands (as they require), I
attempt to hand a woman her plate of grilled shrimp as
she also attempts to take it from me and it spills all
over her. These aren't mistakes I am doing because I
cannot physically hold a plate -- these are mistakes
that seem to happen when I begin to become exhausted
physically.

Is it normal for someone to be...I don't know how to word this... attached to a teacher (and not in any inappropriate manner) but to the point where if another student is favored, they feel a little negative about that? I tell myself (I'm 18 and this person 40ish if age matters) that it makes no difference, move on, forget about it, so I try to move on and make myself believe it doesn't matter, but that attachment-like feeling keeps coming back.
I don't know why it's this particular person, but does anyone have advice on how to detach from someone?
What gets you attached in the first place :-/ ?

This is something that I have a problem. Unless you're a descendent of royality and your last name is associated to some type of legacy, I really don't think you should hyphenate your last name. To me, its like that you're scared to let go or something. Or by changing your last name is changing who you are. I know that this seems pity but this is one of the many things that irks the hell out of me about people.

How can marriage be a union (whole) and you have a hyphenated name. I know there's other factors that make up relationships; but if you agree to marry someone then you're united as one right?

What did you dream about last night? Was it something to do with a situation happening in your life? Was it a wish you hope comes true. Or was it something you hope you don't dream about ever again?

What are some of ur dreams that always seem to keep coming back? For me it's either a dream where I fall out of a rollar coaster, or one with me about to get in a really bad car accident-then I wake up right when the crash first happens. My brother said he has one about his teeth breaking and falling apart inside his mouth while he is sleeping. Then he starts chooking on his blood. Pretty crazy huh?Thanks for ur answers!!!

So. I wouldn't call it depression, but I constantly find myself feeling really down in the dumps about the fact that no matter how hard I try, there is always someone better than me.

I guess it doesn't help that my best friend is a freaking genius, and no matter how hard I try, she always gets better grades than me because the stuff just comes naturally easy to her. For me it takes lots of studying and trying to understand. I know I sound like some competative freak, but seriously...I haven't ever been THE BEST at something. Believe me..I've tried really hard.

These thoughts are beginning to take over my life and I'm not sure what I should do.

I had an incident with a co-worker that I can't let go. Other co-workers are starting to see her for what I knew she was from the start which is no class white trash. Other co-workers have supoorted me and sided with me since this incident, but even though I know that she will dig her self into the ground and I will look good in the end I keep obsessing about this incident. I am looking for inspiration to help me with this like stories from people who had similiar things happen to them, things to make me laugh, or help to get this out of my mind.

Don't get me wrong, I love all my friends; however, I notice a few people in my life who seem to fear germs alot. They are obsessed either with a clean house or keeping up with every single financial receipts or organizing their shopping cart a certain way. I don't think they're perfectionist because when it comes to school work, they seem real laid back about it...they don't feel they need to be number one. But when it comes to their personal belongings and environment, everything has to be in its place or spotless. I am kinda uncomfortable bringing my children there because everything seems untouchable. Are these type A personalities? How do someone become obsessed with such control in their life? I'm almost concern for them.

I want to know who out there thinks they actually have the mental power to do this:

There was a lady, who used to have a daughter. When her daughter was 15, she was hit by a drunk driver on the side of the road and died on the spot. Later, during the trial, the lady did not want to press charges. After the trial was over, even, she went up to the man who killed her daughter, looked him in the eyes, and forgave him.

Now, honestly, I would like to say I could do this, but I don't know if, in that situation, I could. Could you forgive the person that killed your daughter?

well in my dream i was with my dad and his side of his family. we were all walkin to a beach that we all heard so much about. when we got to the beach it had used plastic bags in the water, the water looked dark blue and the sand looked almost tan. the beach looked like a drawing or a picture. in the water there was an alligator and it was larger than the normal size. at first we thought it was a huge tree covered on moss. we went up to it and then it moved. we were all scared. then it began to talk. it said things about the beach and how it needed to be taked care of better. not everyone agreed with this, but i wanted to help the aligator. suddenly the alligator stood up on it hind legs and threw me toward my dad. it felt like i was flyin. my dad didn't catch me, but i fell gently down. then i woke-up.
