    JayCeeKy got a reaction from + Kufrol in A series of unfortunate events   
    As a licensed Couple and Family Therapist, I have spent many years with clients who have literally dragged their partners into therapy - demanding that their PARTNERS CHANGE! It doesn't work that way. You are only responsible for one person in this life... and that's YOU. Sometimes, if you make changes in your life, your partner will also change, but don't count on it. I encourage my clients to say the newly-revised SERENITY PRAYER:
     
    God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the people I cannot change.
    COURAGE to change the person I can.
    And the WISDOM to know..... it's me.
     
    Good luck on your journey.

    JayCeeKy got a reaction from + Just Sayin in Job Interview: How much is too much truth?   
    As someone who used to spend a lot of time interviewing job applicants, I think that Worthington45 gives you some excellent advice. Usually a hiring manager has several applicants to chose from. If an applicant told me that he had a "serious" illness that is "essentially" resolved (this implies that it is not resolved), I would consciously and unconsciously put that applicant at the back of the line since I might construe that the applicant is telling me to expect occasional absenteeism due to health issues. I also would not advise that you tell any coworker about your illnesses or personal information as they will inevitably spread that information to others, usually in a distorted or sensationalized form. When hiring, the most important traits I looked for were enthusiasm, intelligence, a good work ethic, a sense of humor, and ability to get along with others. Your medical history is your business, no one else. I am sure that most applicants are not hired for what they said rather than what they did not say during the interview.

    In my third year of college my roommate introduced me to the music of Leonard Cohen. When I first heard "Suzanne" I was hooked.
