    hi anita
    I’m trying to keep an open mind about Carl Jung. But you might be interested to know that I read something about Carl Jung the other day in the negative. A book called “the Jung Cult” was written by a scholar from Harvard I think. This guy said Jung was secretly hoping to create a cult of followers but not call it a cult of course, have a cloak of respectability.
    Anyway, I will try to maintain an open mind about the guy.

    Chairman Chuck (aka jumpin Jehovah)
    This guy is like the MC. He introduces and makes sure everyone gets a turn. He has to discipline anyone who starts to hog the limelight like Llama Jack or Analytical Al. he tries to be objective but it isn’t always possible. He tries to be fair but again not always possible. He’s there to act as a balance.

    Jumpin Jack Flash
    This guy thinks he is a rock star. He’s musical, can play a few guitar chords and sings strictly in the key of C, one octave. He fantasises about being a magnet for adoring female fans. Good friends of Llama Jack. Sometimes they combine to make music with silly lyrics.Jumpin’ has narcissitic qualities which annoy Pious Pete and Analytical Al. Hate him or love him, he’s there to stay. Chairman Chuck has had to have a word a few times “hey Jumpin’, don’t get carried away, you’re startin’ to annoy the others”.

    Attachments are necessary and unavoidable

    100 pounds is 45.5 kg. Very thin in my opinion. Congratulations Anita. And the prize is one week’s holiday to Scotland…………………in winter.

    Please no pressure Percy
    This guy hates being in the hot seat. He can’t take pressure especially when his boss is watching him do something. Public speaking? One of his greatest fears. He has never learnt to handle performance anxiety. This has affected his career badly. So bad, he is more often than not looking for a job than actually doing one. He is a good friend to Zero self-esteem Zac.
    Zero self-esteem Zac
    Something happened in childhood. Still trying to pinpoint it. Possibly sibling related. He has never really believed he is good enough in important areas such as social skills, relating confidently to others especially in big groups. Also has no confidence in dealing with pragmatic issues such as fixing things at home. Lacks common sense often.

    Hypochondriac Henry
    This guy thinks “Cancer”, if he has any minor symptom like a headache, cough or sniffle. Then he googles “headache” and reads all the potential diseases or conditions. He’s a worrier and he takes longer than normal to recover from a real illness. Also he gets easily distracted in meditation, thinking about different parts of his body and wondering if that little ache in his ankle is a sign of something more serious.
    Animalistic Abe
    This guy is addicted to creature comforts. Couch sweet potato, food glorious food, what’s in the fridge ? mentality, have a beer to celebrate sunset, have biscuits to go with your laptop, enjoys hot baths, values his dreamtime sleeptime, let’s have dessert and why not another choc? Abe has no motivation except to eat, relax and escape more serious colleagues such as Ruminator Ron.

    I just wish i believed that i wont be this nerdy nervous girl forever.

    It is probably something I don’t like about myself too. But it might be what makes us special, unique and loveable too.

    almost what I wrote in another post only 2 minutes ago.
    Amazing!
    Maybe they can put us on the payroll here at TB. You can be Authentic Anita ,Counsellor in Charge (CIC) and I’ll be Llama Jack. of course you’ll get more pay. As long as I can earn 50 bucks a day, I can survive. So you can get say 200 bucks a day? Not bad eh…

    My solution: keep my life free of events, keep a life where nothing happens and therefore nothing to ruminate about.

    Your post was amusing and insightful. This quote was probably my favourite. Thanks authentic anita!
