[QUOTE="LMLDallas78, post: 372703, member: 55682"] Yes I do marvel at our tech world sometimes although at times I miss what used to be. I feel sorry for the young generation who will have lost the art of conversation and listening skills, not to mention being able to spell properly. This computer age is only as good as the human controlling it. Shops and restaurants have to close if their tills go down! I fear one day it will all go bang or something will happen and we'll have no choice but to revert back to how we were. How can all this tech cope? I guess that's just my little mind working overtime and never really being able to fully grasp how fast our modern world moves. But I do often wonder what's wrong with good old fashioned pen and paper?! Today we're waiting on Storm Agnes which is on it's way bringing strong winds and rain. I love how we name our storms and hurricanes, do you do that? Our weather is nothing compared to what you get, but I bet there'll be some disruption here and something we'll all be talking about. Good old Brits always talking about the weather! I suppose it's easy to hide behind a chosen name and picture profile. I do enjoy putting forward another side of an opinion or argument which is easy to do here. As I've got older I'm better at voicing my opinion in a more controlled professional manner. As a youngster I could be a bit of a hot head which was a way of covering up my shyness. Being really nice natured to people though has caused issues in the past where I could've been taken advantage of. One small example was answering my phone to a wrong number once and saying politely sorry you've got the wrong number. The caller then preceeded to keep ringing me saying I had a lovely voice and sounded so nice. I was hassled all day! I've got many other examples too which can wait for another time. It hasn't put me off being nice natured, just how to handle things differently and be more assertive if needed. Wow that's quite an achievement working the same job for 25 years. I admire loyalty and believe strongly in it. I'm sure you handle those youngsters in a positive professional way. They will appreciate that one day. I do try, I miss the Dallas threads when they go quiet! I have gone on a bit this morning! Hope you have a great day and are keeping well. Happy Wednesday everyone! [/QUOTE]
