People think it is me connecting with them but I don't feel what they say they feel. A lot of people have jumped at the idea of wanting to be in a relationship with me because of this.

I understand what you meant, how you process you sensory inputs - I do that too. I just somehow know stuff, make connections so swiftly (not always spot on, boo hoo)- sometimes even while sleeping I'll wake up with insights and just know how to proceed to act on things I wasn't sure about. Does anyone else do that? Wake up or suddenly become aware of answers? We used to call it intuition, maybe that's what it is but I'm not sure. This is whole new territory for me.

Usually somewhere around the six month mark, but usually before the first year anniversary, there is a conversation that starts off along the lines of, "I can't believe how [messed up this place is]..." The run head long into the hard fact of life that, at least in my field, it's 10% technical and 90% political. <br /><br />Over the years, I think it may be that most fields are like that.

I started by being fired from a preschool, eventually was called a honky by black thugs, and was an instructor for a major university for about ten years. Once I was chewed out for addressing the associate director of my department as an "assistant director." I was lucky I didn't get burned at the stake. That came closer when I closed my career working for a prestigious public library where I was persecuted by a fairly major league sociopath who was one of the top administrators of the library. <br /><br />I know I keep asking this over and over again: does it make sense to describe an entire species as crazy?Radical Agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630112321918941568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-24597532316878703042014-11-22T19:50:33.225-08:002014-11-22T19:50:33.225-08:00Hi Dr. G.,
