They knew how I was slow in figuring out new circumstances and they gave me extra time and coaching. That gift turned potential failure into glowing success.

If I get offered the job I interviewed for, I might just tell the supervisor "Look, here's the deal . . . " Otherwise, there's "having to pretend" . . . pretend I don't have problems that will become obvious anyhow. Why can't the world be more like PC?
Hiya Rose--it sounds like you had a wonderful boss and job at that time. I think our idea of a dream job is the same as our idea of a dream friend or mate. As for not having to pretend--don't you wish that when the store clerk asks you "How are you doing?" you could tell them the true scoops instead of saying "I'm fine"? hoo hoo or have a T-shirt that has "Ask me how I am really doing" printed on it and see what happens...
Thanks for this!
