Sensei  Sin City |  Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTANI'm an id-jet... I scheduled a submittal meeting at 2 - which gives me enough time to come back to the office. If I set it up for 3, I probably could have just gone straight home with none the wiser... I is dumb |

Thsi would be the first time he has ever tried out for a team and gotten on it if he makes it. He has been working really hard and I so want him to know what it is like to work for something and get it. It's his last year of middle school and I am afraid if he doesn't make it, he won't want to try out for high school sports! Ooooh good luck to your son!! I will keep my fingers crossed for him! Thanks, he has always been on teams where everyone makes the team and gets to play and had me as a coach, so I can't wait to sit in the stands and cheer him on, and let him get some real coaching!
Awesome. Best of luck to him! Fingers crossed.
My son just texted me that he made the first cut! |

Champion 14571 the alamo city, Texas | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Originally posted by jford2309 Originally posted by Kido Originally posted by mehaner Originally posted by Kido I have a serious relationship question for TAN. Something that has been plaguing me for years and years. I was taught to try and be gracious as much as I can. Specifically, when doing things I don't want to do "for" my wife. To not make her "pay" for me doing it with bad attitude and such. So, there are many times she wants me to go out and hang with her friends/family whoever, or drive across town for a lunch or some other thing. OR, more recently, see every night of her upcoming play. Not opening night, or closing night, or something in the middle. ALL OF THEM. I had to put my foot down at also attending dress rehearsal. SO, if I say I don't want to go, I'm not being supportive. If I go, and be gracious and "fake" that I'm there happy, then she thinks I'm having a great time and says "I told you you would like it". OR, I go and act miserable, but them I'm a jerk... Seriously, what do you do? I have tried the conversation, "I don't want to do this, but i know it's important to you, so I'll go for you and be happy about it". Then she get's mad and says "well if you don't want to go"... The thing is she wants me to WANT to go. But I can't control that. All I can control is how I behave no matter how I feel about it. And I do a lot of this "for" her. But she doesn't WANT me to do anything for her... she wants me to WANT to for me. Make sense? And it's not just the current wife. It's been every person I dated. I just don't know how to express my own feelings about it and being true to myself, or just fake it for her but then have her think that I really like it. There has been several times I'll say I don't want to go to something and she will say "why? you had so much fun last time". If I reply "nope, I faked it because it was important to you, but I really didn't have a good time" - you know how that goes over... "you don't need to do things for me or fake it, blah blah blah". Or I can just not go and not be supportive, or I can go and be a D-bag all night for being drug their and make her regret it (BTW, I RARELY do that last option). I guess, removed from the situation, a sit down with her to express this could work. But of course, she will apply it to the very next event or assume it's about the last thing or the next thing. Probably go off in a huff that I don't want to see her play and such... Bah, relationships. soooooo communication on both sides is getting missed here, i think. your wife should know you have better things to do with your time. you are willing to attend the play at a reasonable expectation, even more than once if its a very long run. but every night is JUST BEYOND RIDICULOUS. but...saying "i'm only doing it cause you ask" really puts her in a crap spot. every time my husband says that i want to smash his teeth. sit down and talk to her about what's fair - i'm really excited to see your new play, but you know i also need nights at home to train/i work early in the morning/to decompress a little/etc. put it on YOU, not her, typical conflict resolution stuff. my husband skips a lot of my races to study or go to football games with his best friend or whatever...it's perfectly acceptable to me. however, it's really important to me that he was there for my first half marathon and he was. marriage = compromise. I wrote a page long response to Lisa, and another to this. But deleted them. The wife is doing what's normal. She is talking and telling me what she wants and expects. I'm the one that probably should talk more and just goes along until I get frustrated. I mean, a lot of times it's easier to just go along and HTFU instead of discussing/compromising everything. I think a lot of it stems from people tending to fail to empathize/understand others. One example is the shutdown and people refusing to understand that it COULD be a real problem for some (Ah, big deal, NO ONE will be hurt by this - pure nonsense, because someone will). Another example is this whole race cancellation thing my friend is dealing with. He is actually getting threats from participants that they will sue to get their 60 dollars back because the govt shutdown closed the lake. They think that all the entry fees are just going into their pockets and can't see at all the sacrifice of time and effort they made (and the fact that most of the money was spent already on T-shirt/medals/food/water/deposits). I'm not asking the wife the feel all kinds of "compassion" for my "sacrifice". But it also feels like a lack of understanding that all of these events, even though they are awesome for HER, do impact me in less than positive ways. BUT, I need to express that. In the most, calm, and least offensive way. Yikes. That could be hard. OR, I just shut my trap, HTFU, and whine about it on TAN!
Don't do that! Get ahead of it. Here is what I mean, when you know she has a show coming up, simply tell her that you want to go see it x number of times, and then ask her which shows she would prefer you to come to. If you never say anything and lay down, it will always be an issue. really really good advice here. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Listening to ESPN radio on my way back from the gov-ment buildings and they were discussing crossfit and saying all the same stuff. Kind of funny... About 150 bucks and two hour of training gets you a certificate as a trainer, that all the crossfitters they know are hurt, and the the worst thing about crossfit was crossfitters.. haha... I still want to give it a try but be reasonable about it. |

I'm used to it ... on all counts It's just another day in Cleveland sports. The Browns are in prime time tonight, too, and I'll be at the game.... I'd say that you can safely bet on us losing. I would also put money on the Buckeyes losing this weekend, hehe. |

I don't mind a line (ONE) for hobbies/personal stuff on resumes either... for some reason this one was so weird though, talking about nerf guns and coffee. I do like that LinkedIn now has an area where you can list "interests" and "causes" you care about. I think that's a more appropriate place than where this was listed under her "Summary". Maybe I should add something about my big black wiener(dog)... |

I'm a lover of happy hour drink specials, long trail runs, and taking naps. I do not function well without exercise, sunshine, travel and fun. Should I ad that to my resume? |

I guess it depends upon what you're using LinkedIn for. If you're using it as a serious resume kinda thing, then yeah, that's out of place. If it's just being used as a "whatever" page for connecting with people, and you don't really care about it or what is there (like I do with mine), then I don't see a problem. Also, if the guy is primarily a freelance writer, the resume aspect probably doesn't really apply at all. Edited by cgregg 2013-10-03 12:04 PM |

| Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Yeah LinkedIn is so hit and miss with people. I use it a lot, but mainly because 1) I work in communications/social media and maintain our company page so feel mine should be maintained and 2) I'm always looking for a job so feel it should be updated and reflect my current resume. In my industry, it WILL get looked at. In fact a job I am thinking of applying for at an ad agency, that is one of the areas on the form titled "Can we look at your LinkedIn profile?" I've been contacted multiple times from recruiters based on on my LinkedIn profile alone, but for jobs/locations I wasn't interested in. Still think I should mention my love for black wieners and see if anyone bats an eye |
