i graduated high school same time these guy went global - all from newcastle high school! you are a lot more likely to graduate high school if you have a father.... i did drop out of high school once and changed schools numerous times....... having my brother for a brother was a liability, also my father wasn't the most stellar person....... i'm happy to be alone at present, to be honest with you:

ok i'm having a crack at it now.... my boss got me to take a few extra days off, ostensibly because i wasn't wearing a facemask on the job and couldn't immediately produce an exemption.... instead of casually strolling (i'm working hard to put the trolling in strolling sis) down the road to procure one from somewhere, i'm doing my emotional intelligence course with the extra time. I'm scheduled for a seven week holiday starting early January so a little extra holiday now 'til next Tuesday is the icing on the cake. I might even go part time after that and go lawn mowing or quit outright and change up my career. So no stress.
Now the TAFE course has monkey branched me over to LinkedIn and I see that LinkedIn has their own in-house learning center. With regard to careers, I can tell you my father was promoted very rapidly and completed an electrical engineering degree at night-times after work at TAFE while performing similar work for the Australian equivalent of AT&T the national phone provider (Telecom) which was public in his day and they made him redundant when they went private. His career highlights were going in a small carload team to space tracking stations near Canberra like Tidbinbilla and Parkes and helping NASA track their Voyager probes to Jupiter and elsewhere (Saturn, Saturn's moons, etc) when feasible to do so from the southern hemisphere.
What I noticed about my father's (fatboy's) management style was being raised by him was like joining the marines, but with the marines suicides from failed recruits might be only one in two hundred but with his kids the rate is 50%. I'd say he looked like a giant steamroller steamrolling over his entire family but must have been a real hit in the office as he was affable amongst his peers, I guess you can say the same for al-Qaeda. I guess I wasn't at my father's graveside with his work colleagues that were, and neither was I around when the U.S. Navy dumped Bin Laden (Geronimo) overboard, exactly.
Anyway, like my father, I found a career in Australia where I can get along okay with my colleagues, even if I have a run-in with senior management (which I will, over the years), I buckle down and hold my ground. I would never go around abusing my family based on being harassed at work. If I'm abusive to my family it's purely based on how they treat me and act around me.

Here's some crazy lady with a popular youtube channel, she has a wife and kids, she's talking about what it's like being in a mental hospital:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mww7mFqyVA
I might train myself up on psyche ward nurse-ism too, just on youtube. I mean I spent some time in mental hospitals visiting my mother and later my brother. It's pretty bleak. Sometimes life deals you lemons you just have to make lemonade. Or just eat them with fish or something. Maybe throw them at someone, or something. Boohoo. One thing I've learned from experiencing a lot of shock in the home setting is that it's good just to adopt a CIA agent on assignment kind of attitude. Another thing is reading the atmosphere in a given location. Some locations I absolutely detest due to the atmospheres which I'm very sensitive to. For example, I went to an industrial setting rave party once in Neuss in (western) Germany. It was an extremely large factory with loud techno music and hundreds, possibly over a thousand dancing people. I have been an extremely reserved person (when it comes to dancing) and often unlikely to dance in groups, especially with white people as they are stupid. I did do some dancing with Africans at a nightclub in China however I mentioned that elsewhere and will not mention it more here. Generally I do not like the atmosphere in a nightclub apart from the noisy music and I might not be in the mood to dance, because of the drugs the people are on and how this might effect the emotional/vibrational atmosphere of the room. I suppose what i'm saying is that emotional intelligence for me resides primarily in the atmosphere and silence. The more people talk, the more posturing is happening and the worse things are. Falling off my skateboard recently has not helped. Sometimes I'll feel comfortable dancing at a wedding or something but moreso if it's couples dancing not just standing on my own.
Ok actually Hungary pipped Japan then Russia, nowadays Lesotho in Africa has a very high rate, hopefully noone's bad dance moves (or Paris Hilton's existence) influenced the Lesothans. Or Lesothoans, not sure what the collective pronouns is for those guys but howdy y'all anyway. Japan's coming back though, with the coronavirus second wave, wouldn't want you to think they've given up (ha ha) that's pretty funny y'all guys, y'all.
I have to mention about my mom and my brother, one occasion for both of them I brought them in to the hospital myself/or organized it. That's no fun but that's life for you. I regret not getting psychiatric care for my illegal alien buddy MLK (my nickname for him) as he subsequently suicided which was pretty stressful. I was super busy in those days and didn't really want to mess about anymore with mental wards because they're super stressful places. All the patients there are basically in hell and God's upset with them I'd dare to say. Still many of these people have unreconciled emotions which they would do well to recognize and deal with. Unreconciled, unrecognized emotions are a major, major problem. Even with professional actors, whose tradecraft is in manifesting emotions, often you'll see that while they don't end up in mental hospitals (not severely traumatized), they can become extremely narcissistic and un self-aware (not emotionally intelligent).
I'll tell you, with regard to Alec Baldwin, I'd say he's dealing with trauma issues and would be traumatized. Negative news stories will just add more insult to injury for him. It's not good for journalists to try to destroy people.
Speaking of journalists trying to destroy people, let's quickly check in on Greg Kelly at Newsmax, covering Chris Wallace's transitioning from Fox to CNN, a walk down memory lane:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWAKBQd8vQY
If you look at Chris Wallace's question, nine minutes in, to Trump, about if he's 'willing' to dis 'white-supremacist groups', this question is so ridiculous. Trump actually has capability to anticipate future events to some extent, kind of how I would read the atmosphere in a room I suppose, however even Trump perhaps did not foresee the extent of the damage that defunding the police actually has done. And the absolute lie about white supremacy lead to the black smash and grab movement, going nowhere.
The bare bones of the debate often is said to come down to dads being around for their kids or not. As you can see, just based on my experiences I've outlined above, it's a very complicated issue. Dads or no dads. However dad or mom or CIA or al-Qaeda or what have you, it's clear to me that Greg Kelly is right, and Chris Wallace is wrong. Greg Kelly, not a dummy, Chris Wallace, a dummy. You both have my permission to print that out from this blog page directly and blue-tac it to your wall. Do y'all have blue tac in america or you call that something else? That little putty stuff you use to stick posters to the wall, what do folks call that in America? See Trump should not have even dignified this question. Look I'm going to Court on January 10 over a traffic matter and when I pleaded not guilty to the judge she said go off with the prosecutor and have a chat. I had nothing to say to him, I showed him my paperwork and he showed me his, I will not say anything to him that I don't need to. Once you acknowledge a ridiculous question like Wallace and his white supremacist nonsense you're validating it and assigning weakness to yourself. Trump just needs to say 'law and order'. Another time I went to a bank smelling like absolute horridness. I was smelling so badly some American guy on the bus sitting behind me commented on it and then his American girlfriend or wife sitting next to him said not to say that, it was rude, and the guy was like, 'but he stinks'. Freundens (that's German), he was right, I was stinking so badly that day I could smell myself at the bank and the teller gave me the speediest service imaginable. If you want speedy and prompt customer service, the best thing to do is smell really badly.
Trump, in that moment, defined the problem as Antifa and the left. And correctly said it's a left wing problem. Unfortunately, this is a left wing problem and it's everywhere you go. People just cannot call a spade a spade. They have to say it's a racial term. And then adore some narcissistic whore somewhere. It's an evil problem. Put simply, the majority media in America at the moment is a major liability for America's welfare.

How can we tell our narcissistic and confused do-gooding woke buddies voting for left wing politicians that they stink, without ruffling their feathers or being labelled Q-Anon conspiracy theorists?
This is the dopey EQ video on LinkedIn Learning:
Increase self-awareness (linkedin.com)
Let's look at some roleplays:
You tell Bill O'Reilly "get f*rked yer fuggen shlut, fugg off", like an outback Australian (abbo), just to see what kind of reaction you'll get, in a playful way, also it's a subtle way to gauge his mood.
He begins making clicking noises from some random African tribe that uses actual clicking sounds as part of their phonetic language.
What can you deduce about this interaction, from an EQ perspective, would you say he's:
a) feeling chipper
b) plotting murder
c) both
Explain your answer in a brief paragraph. Most recent Bill, he had a big weekend with Trump in Florida, no cameras allowed:

Ok there's a section about being Assertive, apart from managing anger and not reading too much negativity into people's comments and what not..... you'd think whoever is coaching Biden and Harris, that assertiveness would have to be top of the list, but instead they're not being assertive at all and just letting the looters smash and grab in the name of stopping white supremacy.
It seems like a great plan of theirs, alternatively, neither of them seem very assertive. So that's where I'd like to suggest yo-yo-ing. Often just considered a fad for kids, like from the 80s, yo-yos are actually amazing and fun and can involve incredibly sophisticated tricks. Nothing would grab people's attention quicker than if Biden and Harris were to just start whipping out yo-yos and doing yo-yo tricks themselves. I mean that would have the whole world talking. It's a pity we're probably not going to see that every day for like a week or so. Similarly, the left-wing spin doctors would really seem much more interesting if talking AND doing yo-yo tricks at the same time. Seriously, people, you know I'm serious, right?
Ok here's another EQ sample question: Greg Kelly just got done calling Chris Wallace a dumb, lying bitch, more or less, on his TV show, before Chris transitions to CNN (notice how there no UT or S like my former almer mater UTS (on Harris street, Ultimo) in CNN? --- but if there were, what would it spell?). Next thing Chris Wallace gets welcomed to CNN with a welcome box full of fresh fragrant bath salts and xmas hampers and what not, handshakes and an office tour. After a heady and refreshing welcome, Chris is ushered into his office and gets his first alone moment after the big move. After his bubbling emotions simmer down a little bit he notices an unmarked envelope on the table, he takes the new fangled letter opener from his welcome box and opens it, the letter is from Greg Kelly. What could Greg say to reassure Chris no hard feelings. What could he say to make Chris feel bad? Why is Greg acting so catty? Should he just go and get a manicure already?
Did you know that the plastics industry is spending millions to suppress the fact that modern day plastics are full of estrogen and jacking up the estrogen quantities in men around the world, through the two teaspoons a day of plastic they invariably end up ingesting (often in seafood). Imagine Greg were ingesting no plastic and was able to flush all the unneeded estrogen caused by ingesting plastics from his own body, how might he use EQ to get Chris Wallace's guard down at a xmas party before body slamming him into a wall?
I mean here's one for me, it's been years since you had to tell your father to put his mrs in the mental hospital as she's come off her medications and been super crazy. Seems like she's settled into a predictable routine of acting more or less normal although she has done nothing to deal with her underlying simmering pool of resentments and anguish that constitute every fibre of her being. You notice as you watch TV or walk through the room that her face is spasmodically grimacing and neverendingly spastic-facing as she lies on the couch, making little finger movements with her arms extended out, generally in an anguished, tormented kind of way. It's pretty disturbing but you know there's no point mentioning it as her husband will yell at you and she'd just say it's coz of the side effects of her crazy medication. You scratch your head and wonder how this makes you feel. Would you put this in a Hallmark Thanksgiving card, assuming you ever even celebrated Thanksgiving and, if so, who would you send it to? Perhaps a San Francisco rioter after they smash and loot your shop in the name of fighting white supremacy. Explain why or why you wouldn't do this in 100 words.
Man that's a tough question, I think I'll just go back to the online course and crack at that. I'm up to the Team Emotional Intelligence section:
Team emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence is understanding and managing yourself, and understanding others. Your team's ability to understand one another, build trust, collaborate and interact socially will improve outcomes.
You can evaluate yourself and your team, identifying areas of improvement, by using an emotional intelligence survey.
Use any of the following commercially available tools to assess your team's emotional intelligence.

Ok i just did an EQ test and scored only 120 out of 200 which is three stars and they're saying 'flawless'. I don't know about a lot of this stuff because a lot of times people are acting phony and investing energy into people acting phony leads to failure. Same time sometimes you have to deal with phony people.
Doesn't seem to make sense, flawless and 120 out of 200. 200 would be flawless, no? Some other website said I got 46 but didn't say out of what.
Okay here's Benji's EQ test for you: you just open a ring pull can of John West Spanish mussels and some dark liquid from the can spurts all over your office colleagues' stuff, including a fancy present from CNN boss to Chris Wallace. You look underneath the fancy jewelry box you have just ruined thanks to your torpid state. It appears the present was meant for Chris Cuomo but then he got fired so to save money, the boss just reassigned the present for Wallace (having Cuomo's last name rubbed out) and now you've gone and fucked that up with your Spanish mussels sauce. You look around and conveniently gauge from the room atmospherics that everyone is happily oblivious to your stupidity and there's a fire escape nearby. You grab some napkins and make for the fire escape when you see in the trash bin a goodbye letter from Chris (Cuomo). You read the letter: hey everyone just letting y'all know love and miss yous heaps, see you in the ghetto, wear a helmut [sic] in case rioters are about, peace out y'all, see you with Mario in jail or somewhere.
Do you;
a) bag everything treating it as evidence, remove it with you
b) contact the women from the View as they are the go to authorities
c) something else
I mean shoot, I'll stick to my guns at this dopey course just to see if I can finish it, but you can see what happens when tree hugging university Phds in dopey shit run the world, just look at Biden Harris.
Alright here's another dopey EQ question I made up because the course is so dopey. Imagine you're organizing the White House Xmas tree bonfire. You tell President Joe it's not actually a bonfire as no-one is supposed to burn the tree down. Then the President wants to play with all the gerbils in the cage on the table but you tell him that's for LL Cool J for his own personal use. The President insists on playing with the gerbils stating his love for animals. You try suggesting he spend time with Baltic nation leaders (like Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) in the fun room in the White House, sometime soon, if he likes playing with animals so much! Just don't play with the gerbils! But then you hear Kamala's entourage approaching and you know it's time to run, and hide, and escape, quickly. If you don't quickly snatch the gerbil cage from the President's hands and take off, LL Cool J might flip his lid and all hell could break lose. Alternatively, if you do anything too abrupt, the Secret Service guys might become alarmed. What do you do?
