RE: 10 Things I Did While The Blockchain Was Down
wow sir Glen, your comment about quit raging makes it sound like you were a real hot head! lol.
That was when you were younger though right? Not that you don't get upset now but you don't go crazy or anything right? like with fiery emotions. Because you seem so even keel and logical.
I got on steempeak and in fact I'm on it right now to see if it's better. One little way that it's better is in replying to comments it doesn't have that stupid gif button in the way like steemit. that thing always irritates me. But I'll experiment with it.
I'd say there's still times I get upset, but I rarely do it in a public forum like STEEM. If anything, I'll sit and fume for a while until I get over it, which doesn't seem to be too long. I do try to be even keel and logical because way too many people are the opposite. Emotions generally make poor decisions if left to themselves.
yes sir that's exactly what a logical, even keel person would say! lol, Mr. Spock! Just think what would happen if the whole world would adapt your method of dealing with anger!
A lot less bloodshed!
Oh, speaking of bloodshed...that job that I told you my wife applied for, the county jailer job? Well actually it's a Corrections Officer.
But anyway she got it! lol. we were kinda shocked because when she went in for the interview the other people who were before her came out and they were these big, tall young guys so we figured that made sense for the position.
In the interview it was the 2 two people who run the whole jail system and they took turns asking her questions, it was a man and a woman, the woman actually is head of the entire system.
So it was a tough interview over an hour long with some really hard questions but by the time it was over they were all visiting and chatting like old friends. which my wife knew was unusual but we figured that even though she got along with them well and they ended up having a great conversation, that for the actual position they may have other requirements than what a petite, older lady could meet.
The application they gave her to complete was a monster, we've never seen anything like it, about 50 pages, extensive background not just on her but her entire family.
Well, she takes the application back to them in person and talks to the Administrator who she talked to the first time she went in and they really got along, this time the lady told her that the bosses REALLY, REALLY liked Mrs. J and that she had the job!
lol. so the bosses told the administrator to fast-track her application so she could start! Ha! So she's actually going to be a jailer at least for awhile. It's totally wild but she had been praying about it and felt that God really wanted her to do this and then it was such a confirmation the way it all went down.
The administrator said that moral is really low there but it won't be for much longer when she gets there.
Well, congratulations to Mrs. J. I think. :)
If she really feels she should do it, and particularly that God is prompting her so, I would say it's meant to be. I'm still trying to get my mind wrapped around it, and what you both plan to do with it, but hey, that just means it's a good thing I'm not involved.
re: if the whole world
No pressure there. I've often felt that if more people would just look at things based on their merits, we'd have a totally different world. Oh, well. Not going to happen. There's such a thing as last days or end of days for a reason.
yes sir about the end of days. do you think we're in the last days?
as far as Mrs. J, I'm still freaked out about it and trying to get my head around it too!
I'll let you know how it goes. I've only told one other person and that's delishtreats and she was thrilled, thought it was very exciting. lol.
the job itself is not what I would call exciting. alot of it is slow and boring. especially on third shift.
