beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
I have a done switch -- I know that I do. I have always had one, the point at which I just step back and look at another person and say to myself, if not to them, "end of line". No one who has been estranged from their family, or divorced, remarried, divorced again and then remarried again can say that they don't when you come right down to it. I will admit that as I have gotten older and become more concious of the impact of irrevocable choices, realizing that they are indeed irrevocable [what part of you can't change it did I miss when I was younger?], I am somewhat slower to throw that done switch. Professionally, I have found myself sliding from "supporting" a direct report to "enabling" them before biting the bullet and firing them. Personally I find that I have a certain reluctant admiration for those who can just step back, say good-bye and leave. Really LEAVE, without a backwards glance or thought. How do they keep from wondering, wanting to know "the rest of the story" of the other person's life, how things turned out? How do they keep from wondering if the other person ever thinks of them?
When you find out, let me know, okay? My mind is getting really cluttered and needs a good airing out....
