Hi all,

  Just looked over the Frist TFI and woooo the typos!!!!! and missing words!!!!!!!!  See there I was all excited typing as fast as I could, anxious to get it in the mail and even spell checked it, but…..  ~sigh~    have to crawl before setting off to run, eh?
  Upon further reflection, the way to best utilize samplings for "review." is to send out to only a select few at a time.  What this will do is allow me to sort of revise on the fly.  Not following me?  ok let me slow down, sometimes I get so excited it type at warp 9.8.
  Suppose I sent a sample to one person:  Hmmmm ok   “Person #1”  if I wait to get feedback from Person #1 before sending it to the next, then I can make revisions and then send it to “Person #2”  having not seen the things corrected in the previous version, Person #2 can provide the freshest perspective on the latest effort.  This version awaits feedback from Person 2 and the process repeats, by the time I reach “Person the last,” I should have it down.  If I was someone else, I would pat myself on the back for being sooooo clever, but since I am me, I will pass ; )
 

Not much to say this week.  Life has been a small challenge of late.  Had a few friends laid off from the company that I work for this week past.  It came as a shock to us all really.  These things had always happened to people that I did not know up close and personally.  There was no such thing as “laying off” in the military where I had spent most of my adult life.  A co-worker here at my very job site had such a fate befall him.  While I wish him the best in life and in seeking other employment, I can not help but wonder if my time will soon come as well.  The technical side of my brain has been absorbing information and experience.  All in preparation for climbing this new corporate ladder.  I had done well enough in the military, and now I was learning the ins and outs of corporate America.  That my growth could be cut short before even reaching a portion of my potential is a sort of horror.  But it is also tempered by my belief in myself and that I can and will survive by some means.
  To wake up and face that most of my problems came from myself and the way I went about getting the things that I wanted.  Further, to start to effect change on those things that I want to change, is to get further along on the journey.  Always so easy to give others advise while ignoring your own voice of wisdom.  This is yet another milestone.  The journey continues.
