Dear Pam,
So good to hear what I "Babble" about, come back better than I said it! Thanx, Pam. How's life in the East-Bay treat'n ya'? I think about you everytime I go by the sign for the 237 hiway.
I ask one favor: watch and listen to other people. They will eventually tell you about their sense of self-respect. I am asking the question in hopes of perhaps reducing the list to 20 things to look for, instead of the hundreds of things that might show us eventually.
Bragging in general is sorta clear cut, but bragging around the office about having affairs while married, is a giant "Neon Sign" saying, "I hate me so its OK if you hate me toooo!" The latter example being really clear is nice but only one of hundreds of things like it that happen around the office. I snatched "bragging" out of the mix for one of 20 sign-posts for poor self-respect. Unfettered use of "7 dirty words" is another obvious indicator. Grumbling and compalaining all the time is a third indicator. I need 17 more though, just to be thurough while paring down the list of a few hundred.
Rod
