On one paw it's depressing as heck. That person in the bathroom mirror is my Mom on a bad day. But certainly not me. Then brush remaining teeth and liner, mascara, brows, more eye color...earrings...okay they eye bags are fading yaaay. But being mature we KNOW MORE. For real, it can be amazing.

Today I got back to the last two learning modules at work. Before that thirty and some quizzes on technology. But I can read, incredibly fast, I can process the printed word at warp speed. But the last two...a pretend exercise on selling a router, eldest boy just said I was even pronouncing it wrong. But they said they'll take care of that one.

The other one I tried the ten question multiple choice like fifteen times and failed. I went to who will be my superior and said please help me with this last one. He took the quiz and...fail. Then I gently suggested that I read things so much better than watching video. He printed out the whole lesson.

I aced it within a half hour. THAT is a good feeling. My poor little ego that became a cat toy is slowly starting to recover.
 

Congratulations on acing that module! I do better with reading too.

Hey, Furry! I'm glad to see you landed something. I really empathize with you now. Getting settled in is always uncomfortable. But your in the door now and what"s not for them to like? Great news! I wish you the best.
 
It felt good too...When I began these frickin' things...the HR person, maybe twenty five...said don't freak out, that some people ran to her mid-way that " NOOOO I cannot do this stuff". Yup I have it goin' on yeah.
 
Good for you Fur, stay positive and don't worry about focusing on age, it will just hinder you. :love_heart:
 
Fur, when you start kicking butt at work and showing the youngins' how things are done, are we going to see a different "you"?:cool:
 
Good feeling, other jobs they were ready to address me as Mom. But this place everybody is more or less equal and I'm pleased.
