To my folks they were speaking from an ego standpoint saying that if I am smart I should become an engineer and make more money. <BR/><BR/>I see myself helping people, who knows if I will be applying to join the union. <BR/><BR/>You could do whatever you want and assume whatever role you want. You are not confined to being an "engineer". :-)<BR/><BR/>David.DeBianchi[at]gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-29867680858891308982007-02-22T09:35:00.000-07:002007-02-22T09:35:00.000-07:00Jen - is that McGill Jen?

The email you sent last fall - I did not reply as your note was somehow lost during the sudden death of my computer and transition of email service to the new house. Can you email me again at pricet@telus.net and I will reply forthwith! Love to you and so nice to hear from you again! P.S. Thank you for the lovely and encouraging note.Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-76016276858402784042007-02-20T21:19:00.000-07:002007-02-20T21:19:00.000-07:00TerriI am so sorry to learn about your chronic hea...Terri<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry to learn about your chronic headaches. Your blog is acute, earnest, humorous and often very moving. I've enjoyed reading it immensely, and have no doubt that you could succeed at writing a novel if you can gather the necessary momentum.<BR/><BR/>I'm gratified to learn through your blog that-- in addition to being in near-constant pain-- you are well-loved, generally happy and settled, and that you continue to be the perceptive, restless and inquisitive Renaissance Person I remember from almost 20 years ago. Reading it was like spending a lovely lost afternoon with you. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your new house!<BR/><BR/>I'll leave you to it-<BR/><BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-79300623388506555982007-02-19T08:53:00.000-07:002007-02-19T08:53:00.000-07:00I can hear the tinkling of wine glasses!

I guess we all share a bit of the same loss somewhere.

New people help fuel new ideas...a support group sounds great!<BR/><BR/>Smarts- Ahh. I always knew we were kindred spirits. I can hear it in your writing and in the subtext even when you don't say it! You also are heard more than you know! P.S. Wine x3 sounds good.Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-41118075129948935982007-02-16T09:30:00.000-07:002007-02-16T09:30:00.000-07:00Right now all I can say to this is - you have no i...Right now all I can say to this is - you have no idea how much I wish we lived close enough to drink a three bottle of wine minimum and commiserate! <BR/><BR/>It would seem in the context of life, we were not unlikely friends, at all! While in Halifax I struggled with career - I was so desperate for a change(!) but came up against the same problem of skill set - oh I had it in spades but not anything resume worthy. I need constant stimulation - and frankly, the world is full of bores and I seem to be piss and vinegar.<BR/><BR/>I offer only my understanding.Angela https://www.blogger.com/profile/16751904636710437791noreply@blogger.com
