Social Science - 23 November 2007

It's a holiday so I can't get more information. I was fired from that job in early September for no appreciable reason--apparently my boss just really hated me. More than I even thought, it turns out. I have been over the code of ethics and can't find anything I did wrong, except maybe that after I was fired, I became friends with a former client who also went to my church. She had been discharged long before I was fired even. But it's not like I had sex with anyone, or exploited anyone. I am no longer a substance abuse counselor and I must say I never want to go through all this again. Now I work for Dept. of Mental Health with little kids. What's the worst that could happen, sanctions-wise? I was not licensed, just Certified Addictions Counselor--Pending, and it's not like I'm using that, so they can have it. My fear is that this will somehow come back to bite me in my future career. It's very scary. Any advice or information is appreciated.

I dont know why but i want to be liked by everyone. I mean in the class i want all guys talk to me and girls like me. If some of them dont say hello to me i just feel somehow worthless and become sad. Also, i can't be confident next to really pretty girls, not that I am not pretty. But i keep looking at them when they talk and think "wow shes really cute and self confident". Then suddenly i feel dull and cant keep converstaion with her, i got nothing to say!...

I find this guy at work quite amazing, There is 5 of us at work, this guy has picked the most popular person in our work place and is buying everything he buys just to fit in, Its like when I was at school and Air Jordans where all the rage, This guy has bought an xbox, ipod, taken up various different hobbies and even bought a BMW all because the most popular guy in our work place has just bought one.

Whats wrong with being an individual?

Do you have a person like this at your work? A person who just really tries to hard

And what's the best response, to "age gracefully" or try to fight it at all costs?

When does fighting it become an embarrassment and why?

I posted a question on YA advocating one side of an argument and got 6 answers telling me I was wrong. Later I posted a question advocating the other side of the same question and once again got 8 or 10 answers telling me I was wrong. Not one looked just at the merits of the question.

Most people hear about the elderly and vulnerable who are mentally abused by their carer... what you don't often hear... is the carer who gets abused mentally from the person they are looking after.

In this case I am the abused carer here
I have a live in and on duty 25 hr day 8 day a week care position
I go to bed most nights crying
I have looked for other work... as this is not my preferred position.... but took this one on as unable to find other work... I have no accomodation... so this makes it even more difficult to leave. How do I get out of this situation??? I want a normal job.. and my own accomodation so that I can get my life back. I am CRB checked, owner car driver, independent lady, who is just looking for a proper place in life.

I always dream that my legs are very tired, sore and heavy (like lead weights) when I am walking. I have to drag and pull them to keep up with me. What the hell does it mean, if anything at all?

Why everyone who dies seems to have been such a 'nice guy' and did lots of 'charity' work and was an 'honest employer' and very 'kind and helpful'?
Why do they say the same thing about Serial Killers as well?
(He was so kind, he used to help old ladies across the street, you could NEVER tell!)?

i get 133 and 134 on iq tests and i have a severe obsession about my height
im a little over 5'5" female
i've been crazy about being not tall enough for some time now and there's a phase, especially when it comes to happen to think about it again
i get immensely stressed and look like a lunatic, wanting to be taller
i've never seen someone like me being so crazy about heights
is this lacking in common sense?
can smart people have a different perspective on their view of certain things?
