It's official
Jun. 5th, 2002 08:59 pmi am now officially on summer vacation. i don't have to go into the office until September 21 if i don't want to. Of course i will, but i don't have to, and that makes all the difference in the world.
On another list i am being mildly lambasted for my ideas on mentoring. As usual, i'm not able to put my thoughts together in a coherent manner quickly. i've just about decided that this whole 'community' thing is a bunch of bullshit. Three people in a room together will have 4 different opinions about any particular topic.
It may be acceptable to others and i have no problem with that, but for me, i'm out of it. i will continue to read the lists i belong to and answer as the mood hits me. i am beginning to find it repugnant to hear about all this mentoring stuff, and, and, and, and. It is my feeling if two people want to live together in a particular way, why would they feel the need or the desire to share their most intimate moments with the rest of the world? i'm still not saying it right.
It goes back to other things i've read. It seems to me that a great number of people, don't have the courage of their convictions. i've read about women who allow themselves to become so mesmerized by a 'dominant person' that they burn out, not the term i want, and then rant and rave about being taken in, or duped.
i'm thinking about women who have allowed John Jacobs to manipulate them to the point of illness, or hoodwinked by him. These are supposedly intelligent women do things that no sane person would consider. They don't believe their gut reaction to these grand pronouncements by 'mentors' or whatever. If they don't feel comfortable with the shoe they are trying to fit their foot into, why not try another shoe? i can't believe the gullibility of some people. i'm still not saying this right. i'm putting this down for tonight.
