NEXT PLAN

Things I need to remind myself next time:

*When not busy, don't just stand and do nothing. Walk around, look for something to do and talk to other co-workers!

*Don't think of what to say, just SAY IT! This is when nervousness starts!

*Always make eye contact whenever you're bantering! Don't just walk and talk away

*Always start a request, question with a witty comment. Minimize self-depracating humor.

*Be aware when you're feeling negative and make sure to address the situation quickly!

I have to find a way to constantly remind myself that I am not ready for a relationship. There are tons of things I need to learn and I need address these matters before I could move on. I have to be constantly aware of the distractions and temptations at work and make sure it does not jeopardize my game plan. Things like running games that are deemed too risque, bold and inconsiderate must be put on hold at least before I get in their comfort zone. I have to be patient and careful I don't hurt my chances of getting in. Plus, this is a good practice in terms of coming up with my own routines and exercises. This is another great opportunity for me to gain experience.

I realized that if I settle for anything less, I would quickly abandon my plan for success and ultimately end like Jim. I WILL NOT GO DOWN LIKE JIM!!!
