Hi Andre Oshiro Marcia Pablo and all other yet silent ones, Andre, I can't begin to imagine myself in your shoe just for one day working in a room with another 50 people!
It did work for me using headphones with loud rock music to block the noise away.My hyperactive brothers used to make so much noise to challenge my talent for self-concentration and patience.LOL Oshiro, Did you mean the worst for you was to put up with others' bad habits while sharing a room with them? I share your point that it's actually not a good option to be on one's own for too long.One tends to be more demanding of others,fussier about getting what he/she wants and eventually finds it harder to get along with others..It may occur to one that it's not worth it anymore to try to adapt to others' needs and decisions. In a way,one becomes grumpier if he/she stays on his/her own for too long...which is too sad in my opinion. They seem to lose touch of the reality...of what others feel or think... You seem like quite an easy-going roommate.;) Marcia, Nice to meet you! I agree with you and Andre that it's necessary to be left alone when we need some peace or quietness to recharge ourselves then to face the outside world refreshed! I come from a big family to actually enjoy the bliss of being left alone whereas a lot of people I know or heard of are afraid to be alone...alone at home when there's complete silence. Pablo Thanks for the link and the explanation of the idiom.That's very thoughtful of you! No,you're mama's boys.LOL No need to feel guilty for enjoying both lives.I envy you though.Not everyone has this kind of life that they can balance between their work and families so well like you do. I know you must have done a lot of adjustments before reaching this harmony.It's you who turn this inconvenience (to others maybe) to your preference.Am I right here ?;) Oh,the last but not the least,WELCOME BACK our old gang,Andre,Oshiro and Pablo!How I wish Mikhail,Liu,Rocha and Anu would show up,too...And the better would be a lot more new ones to gladly join us from now on.Where are Lil,Elham or Josney?Those I can't think of now,please remind me! Nice weekend,everyone! It's been nice writing to you all! Best, Pln On Mar 18, 2:26 am, Pablo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Pln! > > By the way: "The more, the merrier!"
