it’s not you, it’s me –or– potential energy vs. kinetic energy –or– isn’t this getting old, yet? –or– get a hobby already!
so…I bitch about a lot of stuff. Like this is a shocking thing…
today at lunch, I had a coworker tell me that the problem, in most cases, is me, and how I approach issues. I am very standoff-ish, right from the start, and people can read that, see the look on my face, and they shut down before I even speak.
sounds about right.
I was also told that no matter how much I say I don’t care, the fact that I get so worked up and angry about things means that I care more than most people.
sounds about right.
I was told that I could fly to the head of the class, but I don’t live up to my potential. (wow, flashbacks of high school!) And, my boss’s job could be mine, but not without polishing my personality.
sounds about right.

Erika IM’d this to me, from some place, and as much as it’s not all dead-on, some things are oddly too close given that she sent it an hour after the above convo, and she didn’t know about it:
The name of Jason has given you sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things in life. You can enjoy reading, study, and contemplation about many different subjects. When your interests or curiosity are aroused, you work intensely at new undertakings, but your interests often wane when you encounter drudgery and monotony, with the result that you leave many things unfinished. Your name has taken you into many bitter experiences. The greatest lack in your life is stability and peace of mind. A peaceful and quiet environment, especially out in nature, is one of your greatest desires, but you are constantly taken into chaotic conditions. Because you have high ideals and are a principled person, you have been disillusioned and disappointed in people on many occasions and have experienced much aloneness. You are fond of outdoor sports, where you can find an outlet for your nervous energy. Impulsiveness could bring frequent accidents and unfortunate happenings into your life. You do not like to be restricted or to have your freedom curtailed in any way. You find it difficult to control your thoughts and could swing in moods from one extreme to the other. Your speech can become very critical and sarcastic when you are frustrated or crossed. This name creates a weakness in the heart, lungs, and bronchial organs, and could cause heart trouble, pneumonia, asthma, or tuberculosis. It also creates tension in the nervous system, particularly the solar plexus and stomach, causing nervous indigestion and relative conditions.
just thought I’d share with the group

Crap. Why did I name my son Jason? Why? What was I thinking?
Actually, I think it’s a great name, and I think all the Jasons I have ever known have great personalities. Sure, they are strong headed. At least they aren’t wishy-washy. I hate it when people are wishy-washy!
