and we're not in the F. anymore where we HAVE to be nice and lovey to EVERYONE regardless of what we are feeling or if we just don't have a rapore or get along. Thanks for bringing that up, that's a good point and I've often thought of that. I have to remind myself that I don't have to befriend everyone regardless and I don't have to feel bad about it if I just don't want to be around some people. We can make those choices freely without fear of some sort of retribution. I remember so many times in the F. we'd get a good little team set up where people got along and were happy working together and leadership would come along and break it up because we weren't challenged enough or some stupid thing. You felt bad if you actually liked working with someone or had a friend you felt comfortable with and could confide in. All that was taboo. IT's hard learning these social skills after all that crap, isn't it? I know it's hard for me.
