How I did it: I discovered that I could register as professional scientist, and that it is a prerequisite to doing scientific consultation work. I went to the website, and downloaded all the forms and the information. I discovered that I needed two references of superiors, so I contacted two people to ask if they would be willing to act as references to me, and fill in the report. I collected all the documentation. I wrote a job experience report… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found someone interesting and let the situation develop. We developed a nice regular schedule of seeing each other. I got hooked, and as soon as I knew this, I opened my heart a little. The setting wasn't very romantic, but I was determined to say things as I saw them.I got rejected, sweetly but firmly. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I first signed up to 750.com at the end of April, and finding it a very useful and friendly website, I signed up for the May challenge. The idea of the challenge is that you commit to writing every day for a month. If you do, your name gets on the wall of awesomeness. If you don't, your name ends up on the wall of shame.

It was Wednesday, and I am grateful …
... for another fantastic Toastmasters meeting.
... that I was properly prepared for the mass of guests, and well-prepared in general. Mentoring works!
... that there was time to get back to the office to get the papers I had forgotten.
... for the catching of the eye across a room.
... for a hallo from my sister.
It is Monday, and I am grateful …
... for a diagnosis.
... that the flat battery yesterday didn’t interfere with the beginning of the procedure.
... for all the help I had in getting the car started.
... for emergency roadside assistance. It was the man from the AA that finally got it going.
... that there’s effective treatment for sleep apnea.
It is Sunday, and I am grateful …
... for a not-overdue haircut. It makes me feel fresh and not having to deal with the issues of untidy hair will reduce stress.
... for fans. It is uncomfortably hot.
... for the accidental opportunity to smell a good perfume in action.
... that I asked for help with my next Toastmasters project.
... that the parcel is ready for sending.
