It's just a Monday, I've learned not to take them personally. Everyone else has had time to stew on there problems all weekend while I try to forget them for a few hours. Seems like every Monday it starts over again. Can't we just drop back to a six day week and leave Monday out? ....

After 21 years in the trade I have only hurt my self twice. Both times were with less than 5 min. left in the work day. Both time were many years ago. Since the second accident I adopted a policy for my self. If there is 15 min. or less in the day and it dont matter if I get the job done today or first thing in the morn. and If I have to rush to get it done, I stop!!!!!! Find something else to do for the last few min. Seems I have seen more people get hurt RUSHING in the last part of a day than at any other time. So my suggestion to you is to slow down just enough to be safer. The savings in one ER trip will more than make up for the few min. once in awhile that you clean your tools or what ever instead of rushing to get hurt. Anouther old saying is, "How come there is NEVER enough time to do it RIGHT? But always enough time to do it OVER?"
Be safe GotabeGreen ....

Green: I'm not sure if anything particular prompted your comment. I hope not an injury. I'm also not sure I have anything useful to offer but here's an idea. In some native cultures there's a thing called crazy dog. If you see somebody doing crazy or unusual things you know they've undertaken the crazy dog. I guess we'd call it self-improvement.
In crazy dog things are done backwards but it's up to the individual to say what things and how and obviously not everything is feasible to do backwards. It may mean riding a horse backwards or switching left and right hands. If a person is always the first to speak it may mean waiting for somebody to ask something.
Practically speaking it's a way of slowing down, finding what's causing problems for a person and other ways of doing things. There are all sorts of problems that come from 'excessive handedness' and from 'one-solution' thinking. Sometimes a person has to slow down to find the problems and other ways of doing things. Crazy dog is just a formal way of forcing a person to do that. Of course it helps if other people recognize that a crazy acting person is just working on their own problems and cuts them some slack. ....

For anybody interested, my wife has the book--'The Crazy Dog Guide to Happier Work' by Brain Brown Walker. I haven't read it yet so my comment is just an impression based on how my wife talks about it. ....

I have serious social problems too........ I'm married.
Aside from that a heart attack at a young age promtly made me realize the effects too much stress can have on a person, regardless of age or condition.
Best of luck. ....

Alright, as long as we are sharing social problems, my 20 year old son came home from college after his freshmen year for the summer on Sunday. We are glad to have him visit, how long do you think it will take for him to wear out his welcome? Helpfull hint, his mother loves to dig for details about where he is going and what he is doing. She is a loving mom. ....

Beagle, as long as she stays away from where he's going & WHO he's doing it should be fine.
Be it ever so humble, there's no place as CHEAP as staying at home.....especially when it includes laundry and cooking service.
Is your son young enough to think he knows everything, or has he reached that age where he is amazed at how much you have learned since he saw you last?
LOL.
Best of luck. ....

Murf, interesting you ask about which stage of my mental development he thinks I am in. We went through the "you're an idiot" stage a couple years ago. He has grown up a bunch, especially the last year, even to the point of admitting how he wishes he would have listened to us. He's a good kid, she's a good mom, the dynamics of the interactions between the two of them make me tired. The 16 year old absorbs it all like a sponge.
The Good Lord blessed us, and I thank him daily. ....

We reached and agreement with my 20 year old daughter this summer. She is living in Buffalo on her own and working for an engineering firm for the summer. She and her Mother are talking on phone or on computer every 5 minutes - but they can't live together.
My 17 year old son spends most of his time on the computer while my wife and I are out doing manual labor. My wife says I'm too easy on him, I probably am. Things change very quickly, though, when I send them off to college. If they have no money saved they are on a starvation diet! ....

I was told a story once by my father-in-law about his son.
Said he went thru a stage where the old man knew nothing and was as dumb as a box of rocks. About 1 year after he moved out and got a job he was talkin one holiday and joked saying that DAD sure learned a heck of alot since I moved out, everything he is saying (now a day) seems to be right and he sure knows alot. Of course he was refering to the earlier situation when he knew eveything. Moved out and relized he knew JACK!! LOL. ....

A bit of a sad string for me. The day I turned the maturity corner and was just catchig up with my Dad was the day he was killed. He crashed his Piper Archer in poor weather (similar circumstance to JFK Jr.). I have my Instrument Rating, so if I had been with on that trip...
I was comming home to ask his advise on the purchase of my first home.
I wish I had him back. ....

AV8R, sad story. You can never replace your Dad. I moved to my new home to be near my parents. My Dad died 1 month before I closed the deal on our home. He was a man who just tore things apart when they broke and fixed them - even though he had no special training. He could make anything last forever. He was a product of the depression. He never bought anything extravagant for himself - even though he had the money. I had great respect for him. ....

Back to the original post, itsgottabegreen, you have social problems. I fail to see what that has to do with injuring yourself. If you are not old enough to drink - then you are bound to have social problems. I had social problems until I was 28 at which time I got married.
I still have social problems but the wife I chose doesn't view them as social problems. Other people still do think I have social problems. I just don't worry about my social problems so much anymore. Keep a positive outlook and keep on truckin' :) ....

I agree with ncrunch, it comes down to 'mind over matter', if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!!!
Keep your chin and spirits up the rest will fall in line.
When I was doing my turf-grass courses I had a professor who told me to go back to growing corn because I wasn't going to make it in the turf industry, several years later he was fired from a consulting job because he miscalculated the ratios in an autmated feeding system and nearly killed about 100 acres of turf. The golf course owner brought me in to fix the problem.
The turf came back, the professor did not.
Best of luck. ....
