      Gin! Seriously. You need to get out and party, meet the right girl, go dancing, films, dinner. Are you working too hard? Ask a girl at work out for a meal. Just tell her the truth, Stranger, needs company and likes beautiful woman to eat with him. If she thinks you asked her out because you think she is beautiful, it is a great start! Most girls are paranoid at heart, and showing an interest is a boost to their ego and confidence. Trust me, I was that soldier. I would look and not ask, then one day I just asked and got told yes! So get the girl, do the food, see the film and then drink the gin!

            Oh man, c'mon it is his first post, don't lead him the dark way yet, let him get used to us and our cynical ways. I was attempting to foster a feeling of wellbeing and confidence. Letting him build upon his character and ability before Pete O'Hanlan rips him with his medieavel torture devices of sarcasm and irony! :)

              Find a hobby or a passion, something that will distract you. Heck, take a week off, and fly home.

              Thats only a feeling. Sometimes I feel the same, then I get out of my comfort zone, and realized it was my silly thinking that got me thinking that. Maybe use some money to go speak to a shrink. It helps to get it out, and he wont laugh at you.

                In suggesting a Browning 9mm, I prompted him to at least contribute to the economy before he contributed to the gene pool via self-elimination.

                        last week I sublitted my leave application to my project lead who doesn't have any project at all. You know, what he said... "There are lot of developement work lined up... so you can't take a vacation.". I said to him that I waited for almost 12 months for some assignment. nothing showed up till this moment. so either you accept my resignation or sign up my leave application. he approved 21 days of vacation. going home after 1 1/2 years hoping something will change...

                            Take his word for it. People say they dont change, but it is because they cant see the difference, to them the world is changing around them. As the old saying goes, let bygones be bygones.

                                I stay up all night wondering about code :) Get a nice pet project or learn something new. (Like Scheme).

                                Find a hobby or a passion, something that will distract you. Heck, take a week off, and fly home.

                                Thats only a feeling. Sometimes I feel the same, then I get out of my comfort zone, and realized it was my silly thinking that got me thinking that. Maybe use some money to go speak to a shrink. It helps to get it out, and he wont laugh at you.

                                      There is an old truism... Men Marry Women and don't expect them to ever change, but they do. Women Marry Men and expect that they will change them, but they never can. Or, As Oscar Wilde put it, Boys will be Boys, and so will a lot of middle aged men!
