diplomacy

no gf yet, it's only been a day, but he surprised me by following through with scheduling all his classes, on his own, taking responsibility for his life, without me! YAY!! i just love that! it's better than a present or flowers!! and since the universe has been tuning in to my blog...things at the office have been quite pleasant lately. as if glenda the good witch has possessed my friend. she actually has picked up on my calming vibes which i send out constantly so that i won't open my mouth and say something i might regret. i have a tendency to react before i think which is not such a great thing. i have been trying to think more and react less, but it's a tough habit to break. i am quite diplomatic, but i can rush to defend before i completely understand the whole situation. a very smart friend of mine once told me the way to truly understand another person is to tell them what you thought they said and is that what they wanted you to understand. usually the person has no idea of what they said, only what they wanted to say. i've actually used this method and it works. see i tolf you she was very smart, and the most diplomatic person i know!!
