But the explanation didn't stop the advice. <br /><br />And don't worry, Glenn. He's getting ditched this week. :)<br /><br />Also, D? That is exactly the comment I would expect from you. Exactly! Down to the new term, although I didn't guess it would be "panmuddle."

This is such a great analogy, K. You've come such a long way and I, for one, fellow Type A controller like you am bursting with pride for you.<br /><br />You might very well be the oldest in class BUT at least you know who you are and what you want in life. You're more likely to get a lot more out of learning because of that. Age is just a number. If anyone judges you for it, punch them in the face.Sizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182860438430294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-27293028052668160752010-08-18T06:31:47.583-07:002010-08-18T06:31:47.583-07:00Better the batter, so ditch the dude.

I tend to burn all mine, and Motto makes them as thin as crepes.<br /><br />I agree with above that a pancake post is easier to understand than a surfing one. ;)Jeannettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010819863287865243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-66865279294369074732010-08-18T04:57:55.457-07:002010-08-18T04:57:55.457-07:00What a delicious entry!

I found much here that resonated with me. <br /><br />I'm so glad to hear someone else articulating that feeling of being "an impostor" - I've been telling friends the same thing for years without anyone ever telling me they understood what I was saying. I think, in this case, it's because you've outgrown that box and, though you know from experience that you can do the banking jobs, there is so much more to you now which you would have to hide from them. As soon as you're hiding stuff you're an impostor, pretending to be as small as they want you to be.<br /><br />The pancake anecdote is a WONDERFUL story, and I love how you reveal your character and the character of those around you. As above, you're talking about the restrictions of conformity and your recognition that conformity doesn't meet your needs. Yes, I can see the positive influence of surfing on your approach to life. I have one question though: did you communicate to the waitress and your date that there was a reason you were making your pancakes differently? I'd have thought a simple "I prefer them raw and doughy" would have forestalled any irritation. However, the story is a marvellous parable. I think Sorata is correct to identify the wisdom in your posting, Great Sage ;)<br /><br />p.s. sometimes I get lost in the surfing jargon, but I was with you all the way with the pancakesGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270177252139637687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-53807078725309571792010-08-18T04:49:10.332-07:002010-08-18T04:49:10.332-07:00a) how do you get your iphone to take such good pi...a) how do you get your iphone to take such good pictures? the ones on mine always turn out pretty crappy.<br /><br />b) any restaurant where you have to cook your own food is a restaurant not worth going to in my book. i feel the same way about those goddam fondue places. boo. i'm paying exorbitant prices AND i have to cook my own food. what the hell am i here for?<br /><br />c) what the hell is that? that, my friend, can not be called a pancake. that is a panmuddle. i bet it was pretty delicious though.dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769697352301199658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-29286933175423768162010-08-18T01:22:15.344-07:002010-08-18T01:22:15.344-07:00The important part is...do you agree to be the mag...The important part is...do you agree to be the magician? <br /><br />And I suck at cooking pancakes. Vahid likes them so I make them every once in a while and I try to make them all someone even so I can stack them (and put some chocolate chips between each so they get all melty). My goal is to make it look like a picture in the event I ever want to blog about a recipe and then I'd have an awesome picture to go along with it.<br /><br />Mine kind of look a dog rummaged through them. Vahid still eats them so I call it a win.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506729469735417837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576769111370725859.post-17929070445325729992010-08-17T23:43:30.289-07:002010-08-17T23:43:30.289-07:00Aaaaaaah I feel good reading your blog again. hehe...Aaaaaaah I feel good reading your blog again. hehehe finally took some me time :D<br /><br />Looks like you're changing, in a very "zen" kinda way. I love the way you said "the pancake on the left felt sorry for the pancake on the right". It is true. Who defined that pancake has to be perfectly round, it's still the same batter isn't it?<br /><br />Very excited about your school, can't wait to read more about it. And good luck with the job... I'll chant for you.Soratahttp://http//sorata.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
