Monday Mission

1. Postmodernism (a popular philosophy of the current day) indicates that there are as many "truths" as there are people; nothing is absolute (however, by its very nature, even the word 'Postmodernism" resists definition).
For yourself, what truths are absolute? Are there any absolute truths in the Universe? There are absolute truths in the Universe

2. Do you believe that you are still "teachable?" definitely!

3. To do something well, in most situations, requires study and practice. What's the most recent thing that you have done well as a result of study and practice. computers

4. If you had the time/money, what do you want to lean how to do more than anything? not sure

5. Those around us may often try to intervene, but ultimately each individual is responsible for the choices they make in life. Tell me about a recent situation where you had a decision to make, and those around you tried to
influence or direct you. Were they successful? Was that "help" welcomed? won't go in to details but it happened at work. They were successful and the help was welcome unfortunately the outcome wasn't that great.

6. Things are much easier to accept when they are given by invitation rather than being forced upon us. When was the last time you rejected something because it was forced on you? How did it happen? Did you hold a grudge
about it? Was it ever resolved?  too many times to remember

7. Are you the sort of person who questions everything, or are you able to accept things without someone providing you tangible proof? most of the times I do question things

BONUS: Ooo baby, do you know what that's worth? million dollars baby!

10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You get married, or otherwise begin cohabitating with a significant other. S/he moves into your place, but brings with them the UGLIEST chair you have ever seen! You really don't want this thing
in your home, but SO says it is the most comfy chair s/he has ever sat in, and no way will they part with it. Do you: grin and bear it, or scheme to get rid of the montrosity somehow? maybe try to get them to re-cover it if not it can go in to a seldom used part of the house.

participation positives

I made it through the week

I have a job and I love it. I had a good 6 mos. review this week.

I love and am loved

They came to install the part to the air conditioner  in time  for
me to be at work on time today.

I have a fun weekend coming up.

I got an A in one of my classes and took the mid-term for the other this week.



I am seeing El Greco to Picasso at the Phoenix art museum and then meeting co-workers for lunch. Then I might see the new Lizzie McGuire movie. Also things need to get done around the house on Friday. I will hit the mall on Saturday.
Sunday I spend with my parents and brother. I finally saw Ice Age and A Walk to Remember. The last one is a very sad movie! I rented Maid in Manhattan from work. I hope to watch it this weekend as well.
