Awhile since the last post.

I am finanlly settling into the rythums of my Job and my new life here in Charlotte. One thing that is constantly on my mind is how, when, where, will I meet people. Things move much slower in the corporate world. Common interactions with a variety of people dwindles and one is left in peculiar position.

1. One can embrace the office and make that your surroundings.

2. One can fade into the background and hope for something to fall in their lap.

3. One can be proactive and try and make things happen.

I am trying number three but number one seems to tie closely to this and number two creeps up. I have never been a proactive person, not that im satisfied with the status quo, but that I hate putting my neck out until im sure. And I seem to have bad timing with this. I risk myself and have not made the correct decision and end up getting let down. But I will continue to be proactive as much as possible for I know it is the best way to succeed in this world, at least for me it is.

I recently went to Florida this weekend for ANS and saw again how I am able to be myself and make friends. I noticed again that I have a natural sway over people and I can take complete control of their and my Domain, those are the times I relish, I cant be stopped, the world is fun. My goal is to increase those times. The challenge is how. More and more I am realizing the term "be confident." We'll see what happens...

Learned a new word: compotation: The act of having drinks with company, usually to the point of excess.
