I'm struggling with the short-timer mentality that goes with thinking I won't be around at my job for long.  My boss picked up on it.  Not in that I wasn't doing my job but that he sensed I was not my normal talkative self.  He did recognize my one year anniversary (a day early), which was kind of him.  He also noted that he had put me on his church's prayer list about a year ago.  Also nice, but it kind of freaks me out.  I'm just not used to that kind of thing - especially from my boss.  I feel kind of guilty that I've had such a bad attitude about his attempts at friendship.  However, the truth is that it just doesn't make sense as long as I report to him.  Hopefully that won't continue for long.  I asked my high roller friend to put the feelers out with his high roller contacts over at the North Oaks Country Club.  He says I should be able to have some conversations with some of them at a minimum.  I've always figured that I would try to hook my friends up if I had struck it rich.  I supposed that mentality is why I probably will never strike it rich.  In the words of Fred Flintstone, "Nice guys finish last."
