As I read Nicole this morning, I was struck by what similar creatures we are. Her entries make me mist up on a regular basis. I can't wait to see how she proceeds with her life, and how her decisions will turn out.

I've been meandering through my life for so long now, it might be a good idea to take a few cues from Nic. In my case, I guess you can add 'lack of clear direction' to her list.

It's not a problem of knowing what I'm capable of, it may simply be the fact that I've really never been in the right place at the right time. Networking isn't something I do well; I suspect those I mingle with and try to cultivate working relationships with see right through me.

For a time, I sold advertising space. I worked in Human Resources. My fear is that I am too genuine and sincere to succeed in either of these fields. I neither understand, nor do I condone office politics. My inability to be an ass-kissing hypocrite has lost me more than one position.

So, you can see that I'm attemtping to work out why I fail in certain areas of my life by myself; I may need a counsellor for the rest.

Wow. That's a scary thought. Maybe for now I'll just stick to reading Nic...
