I Can&#8217;t get a decent job, my friends stop communicating with me, and worst of all I thought I was good at communicating. \u00a0This also proves I am pretty lame at listening. \u00a0Oh my poor wife has had to put up with me all these years, bless her heart.<\/p>\n<p>So after 41 years of living I pull my head out of the proverbial sand and figure I better start praying to overcome yet another weakness.<\/p>\n<p>I now understand the confused look on the interviewer&#8217;s faces as they thank me for coming in. \u00a0They had no clue what I was talking about. \u00a0Most of the time the don&#8217;t have the heart to tell me, the half wit, I didn&#8217;t get the job.<\/p>\n<p>Remember this is more therapy for me than for anyone to read. \u00a0I figure anyone that reads this will be confuse and stop reading the words about now.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to write down some things I have learned.<\/p>\n<p>Most men have no clue what a woman wants, in a man or anything else.
