8/9. 7 Habits of blah blah blah, Steven Covey and Working with Difficult People by some trumped up doctor. Can you tell how much I appreciated these? I listened to them on tape, which is why I'm not counting pages.

The Seven Habits was actually a little bit interesting, but my friends will verify I already practice the first ones without thinking about it much. I need to work mainly on putting first things first - obviously, or I wouldn't be here, which is according to most people neither important nor urgent. I think it's very important!

I'm also in the middle of Emotional Intelligence at Work as that is the theory du jour at the BFD; Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Oh, and Childhood's End is on my nightstand waiting to be finished.

Good to hear you are giving the Easy Way a go!

I'm actually going to start reading it tomorrow - CJ set July as our quit date months ago, and we've started the "switching brands" trick, and have begun thinking of smoking as nasty and looking forward to being done. The book is another step, and I've also picked up an herbal lozenge to cut cravings...I think this has a good chance of working!

I thought quit date meant day you were quitting work! :p

Emotional Intelligence at Work? My users are childish morons then. :p

Are you trying to quit smoking? ::blink::

We will be quitting in July - cigarettes are too expensive in a lot of ways. I'm sick of stinking, I'm sick of worrying about my health, I really don't relish the idea of drowning, the amount we spend on cigarettes would be half of a new car payment each month...

GOOD LUCK! It seems to me you have a good attitude about quitting, which should help with your success.
Have you noticed the little sunburst on my sidebar? I've just discovered a site called Circle of Friends which you might want to look in to. I'm trying to sweeten my own life without cigarettes by dangling a carrot (well, okay, a bracelet) in front of my face. Click on the image for more info. ;}
