A story and strategy about overcoming shyness and gaining social skills to make friends and networking.
Just another typical January day. Not a cloud in the sky, and a slight winter breeze pushing the mercury down to -35. Celsius, Fahrenheit, when it gets that low, “Too damn cold” is a more than sufficient description.
I usually make a point of leaving the house as little as possible when the mercury dips below -30. Aside from the pleasurable side effect of still being the proud owner of both my earlobes, and all my fingers and toes, it gives me the opportunity to do things indoors that I might normally put off, like arranging my taxes. (Or writing a book?) But, man’s gotta eat, or man gonna die. So off to Safeway we go.
