Rough drafts toward a great work

The selections, BTW, are from Asperger Syndrome Employment Workbook by Roger Meyer. This is part of my job search, but I also had plans to do activities to improve areas where I have the lowest level of social understanding.

I did not add

'Greeting and departure phrases, gestures, body language'
'Honesty and frankness'
'Social lies'
'Making up stories that are believable'
'Factual lies'
'Social conversation during work time'
'Social conversation during breaks, lunch, or dinner'
'How my attitude fits in with attitudes of others around me'
'Your choice of work associates, team members, and partners'
'Socializing on the job with work associates'
'Socializing off the job with work associates'
'Knowing the unwritten rules for promotion'

I thought I already had a good handle on these topics, had distinct preferences due to how I work (i.e., either block out conversation or don't work), or haven't encountered many situations where I had to do that (I cannot pick my co-workers). I may very well need to work on these.

Firespinning, and they have Tool's 'Lateral'. It often makes me of two exes of mine.

14th-Jun-2009 07:04 pm - I have been paying attention to news

Remember when the Department of Homeland Security talked about releasing a report on right-wing extremists, and right-wing groups had a snit? The DHS withdrew the report and said they would revise it. Wasn't that ~~stupid~~ awesome?

Now there are two incidents of people getting killed by right-wing extremists, and still no report. Maybe the DHS should release it, no matter how loud the Liberty Council are.

I have no idea what social skills I am good at. All that practice and learning can't be for nothing. I can't remember when I got what I asked from someone else.

My attempt to take photo of swishy sundress. I am wearing a t-shirt over it, because I want to hide other straps.
