The stories I could tell about other guys' girl friends coming to me throughout college talking to me about all their problems with their boyfriends. Some of these guys were real jerks and I always wished deep down that the girls would dump them and befriend me. It never happened, but they sure liked coming over to talk late at night.

If there's an internet purchase to be made, you can bet it will go on my credit card and I get to figure out how much everyone owes with conversion. Tickets need to be booked to a show? I'm the one who gets to make the call. Honestly, I don't always love it and sometimes I hate it but it's been the status quo for so long that a) I'm pretty used to it and b) I feel like if I put my foot down and refused to do it, nothing would ever get done!!

18	davewasbaloo Tue 5/6/2008 7:43a	Hmmm, well being good for nothing, I would not know... In al seriousness, people come to me for the following things: - hugs - laughter - a kind ear - advice - business, legal, disney, travel, presentation skills, IT and governmental - honesty - cooking And a part of me loves it, and a part of me feels drained by it. And it makes it hard for me to sometimes seek support because I do not want to be a drain on someone else!
19	SuzieQ Tue 5/6/2008 7:53a	Hmmm... Don't know that I have an exclusive "thing" within the family and friends circle. The people around me are pretty amazing in their own right! :)

Add writing, proofreading, editing, logigical thought processes and common sense to the list for my coworkers. I'm the go-to "CYA" person for communications/events within the Nevada division of our company. Been here long enough (32 years) to know what can and can't/should and shouldn't be done within a combination management/non-union/union "house." And I'm the go-to person for a myriad of questions/issues. If I don't have the answer (and I usually DO have it), I know where to find it. Thankfully I have these skills... No one's ever said to me "I've GOT to have your..." fill in the blanks with any type of prepared dish. *LOL* Though I do make darn good guacamole, spaghetti sauce, potato salad and dark chocolate/eggnog bread pudding. ;-)
