I'm proud of you. What you've done/are doing takes such GUTS! And tears, and frustration, and acclimation and.... yeah, it pretty much takes all you've got. <BR/><BR/>It sucks now, but for whatever it's worth, i'm also with your boss. You can do anything, LSL. Really. <BR/><BR/>Be all the way where you are, as often as you can. It's honest, authentic, and probably the most helpful aspect of growing through the pains. And remember you've got a host of LSL groupies and real friends out here cheering you on.<BR/><BR/>love.the kicker is...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12304743927661869109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-60692532409106494762007-04-08T10:30:00.000-07:002007-04-08T10:30:00.000-07:00Oh sure... put up your archives so I can spend an ...Oh sure... put up your archives so I can spend an hour reading about fascinating Japan life instead of working!

You seem fortunate in your boss and co-workers. Use those burgeoning relationships to good effect. Turn to them to learn.<BR/><BR/>Your humility is preferable to an arrogant know-it-all attitude that plows on through with no regard to proper procedure or outcome.<BR/><BR/>The person who hired you saw something in you that would benefit the company. Trust that judgment.<BR/><BR/>The tears should start to lessen in a few days, the fears in a couple of months. If they don't, then you're allowed to move on.<BR/><BR/>Long story short (don't you like that play on words?), what you're going through is appropriate.Bigezbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518091273245395370noreply@blogger.com
