Terry Johnson3, How does it work that on Facebook, where everyone is just posting pictures of chests and butts, you still see people using that kind of language—but then you turn around and find it being used in a thread about software development over here?
I have to say, you’ve got incredibly thin skin. That is a massive liability if you’re working in sales or marketing—it really is. You need to realize that work shouldn't be personal... business is just business, but you seem to turn every single thing into some kind of holy crusade, jumping around like popcorn in a microwave the second you feel something isn't going your way. If you’re going to represent a product, you ought to do it with some dignity—staying calm, being flexible, actually using logic—because potential clients look at you and see this jittery, neurotic representative, and they end up associating that exact energy with the software itself. Who in their right mind wants a neurotic, insecure program that needs constant resetting?

I really hope you come out of it fully recovered.😁
So, I'm doing fine—just buried under work, honestly—so I haven't had the time to sit down and type much... though there are plenty of kind souls here giving solid advice along the way 😍
Yeah, we really should catch up more often... take care.
mellowfox56 said:No, seriously, Lili actually means it, I know her style. I mean, she can be a bit of a tough moderator (poor Dubo, he’s basically one step away from a red card, haha) Just kidding! Honestly, this coffee is amazing—at least for a "forum newbie" like me, I definitely need this kind of vibe right now. If my buddy Dubo keeps talking like that, I’m actually going to start believing him. Oh my gosh, you guys have no idea how much your welcome warmed my heart. It’s like... imagine you’re starving, just famished, and you run into a friend who says, "Hey, come over, my mom made an incredible feast."😛 We're talking layers of ham and cheese, hot soup, slow-roasted pork chops with potatoes, any salad you want, and then finishing off with chocolate lava cakes... yum. Now, I shouldn't even talk about stuff like that, but I live for good food. I'm a total foodie through and through, even if I don't look it.😂 And hey, Dubo, I might have to give you a new nickname—D.D.—but I won't tell you what it stands for unless we talk privately (or via a couple of emails). Though, if you want, I could spill the tea to the whole group here, sort of like that old "grandma" joke. I think I'll hang out with you all over virtual coffee for a bit while I browse through everything. I want to get a feel for the history here and figure out where to jump in without stepping on any toes—I really don't need any drama. Anyway, I'm going to pop into one thread for a second, but I won't stay long. Sending big hugs to everyone! I'm happy to be here. Wish me luck for tomorrow and Wednesday—I've got a doctor's appointment.🙂 Peace out!
Hey, where have you been hiding?
You know we need to touch base more often—it shouldn't be a surprise to "bump into" you here like this...

I think I might actually need to see a therapist at this point. I still find myself getting worked up over how nonsensical our laws and regulations can be. At this rate, I’m definitely due for some deep psychological analysis 🙄
Honey, after all that hard work you've put in, you've definitely earned a nice massage... just let me know...
Henry Edwards33 said:Thanks. Honestly, a real cup of coffee sounds amazing right about now—not this digital stuff, but the actual kind. 😉
Should I give you my address so you can have one delivered? You know damn well I could make that happen—and I'm sure you wouldn't mind being taken care of in a reasonably short amount of time...
Daniel Castillo12 said:Maybe you should consider 😁 practicing some restraint every once in a while..
I'm just not built that way—I always have something more to add, and I prefer to give it some seasoning so it isn't just bland... the point is, it shouldn't be lukewarm or half-baked... and I highly doubt you have much of a taste for 😛the lukewarm stuff...
