Hi ((((((((((Mary Alice)))))))))): Hey, you know what? You can be whoever you want to be on this new job = tis a new start and a new opportunity, right?

I remember one thing that went wrong in the last one is that you found yourself being over-accommodating to your employer, working extra hours and saying 'yes' when you want to say 'no' = here you can work on setting those boundaries right up front -

I know this is very difficult because when starting a new job we naturally want to impress, but since it is detrimental to your health and longevity not to do so,

seems like diplomatic ways of setting those boundaries with your supervisor could be worked on now. What do you think.

I'm a recovering workaholic <smile> a total collapse will do that to a person, so this is something that would be a real challenge for me to do, but maybe we can work on it together.

What do you think? I plan to do this when I return to work, because if I don't = kablamy!!! Talk to you soon. Ever so fondly, your friend, Peanut
