I'm not referring to the quick, "Listen, I can't talk right now, I'm in the restroom! I'll call you back after once I've left here and I've washed my hands." It's more like the guy who goes over the details of an entire multi-million dollar business deal, or the fellow who's getting golf tips from the coach on improving his swing, or the traveler explaining each leg of the trip from Helena to Stockholm and what happened hours by hour. Eww.

It was at my bank so I just had to cross it out and initial it but I still felt silly. Cheers!

He climbed up and pulled the child onto the balcony in less then a minute. Then I hope he was the kind of hero that didn't stop there instead he gave the kid a lecture about playing safe. Anyway why I posted this in human behavior is because people and the press starting calling him the Spider Man of Paris - spider powers had nothing to do with it - it was a person who was physically fit so if they had to put a name to his heroism it should of been Fitness Man. Then maybe kids wouldn't think they have to be bite by a radioactive spider to be a hero they just have to stay physically fit so they can get the job done.. The hero was an illegal immigrant but after what he did the French President granted him citizenship and search and rescue offered him a job.... less

I can now take constructive criticism really well, it took training but as part of my latest assignment I need to sift through a whole batch of comments from my peers and tutor on what I should have done and what I got wrong and what I could do better.. And it doesn't bother me in the least - indeed I welcome it...So, what have you become better at? PS, I should be going through one of the books I read and finding stuff to reference, so I am procrastinating; clearly I haven't got better there! less
