Community Involvement Ch. 10

... here…reluctantly, I will admit that. However, I always try to keep an open mind at these meetings and at interviews so that I can pick up on the occasional piece of ‘good’ advice. As for resuming our regular meetings and moving forward, so far you have reformatted by resume and facilitated some 200 cold call mail outs for me, all of which I am grateful for. But lets face it, that is all you have done. And , that was all done before Christmas. Since then… nothing. In fact, you didn’t do any of those things yourself, the staff in your office did all the grunt work. Maybe I would be better off talking to them.” “See, you are being immature again. Can you please act like an adult about this?” That was a red rag to this Taurean bull. I gently placed my hands flat on the table in front of me and glared fiercely at her. “If you have not noticed, I am being extremely ‘adult’ about this.

It is high time for me to go before your ‘help’ makes things a whole lot worse.” I moved past her seat but she grabbed my arm. “Ray…” she looked about, a sign of panic on her face as everyone looked on. “Please. You are over reacting. It is no wonder you have not got another position if you have such a negative attitude.” I pulled my arm free of her grasp and walked a few steps toward the payment counter.
