I'm sure you'll blend in fine, and seamlessly, and that they will respect & appreciate you, for much the same reasons (as your views & feelings on them, and the environment, overall). As it will stand: above all else; I hopefully believe, is that who you are as a person, and your work ethic, etc. is where your proof will be in the putting, or however that saying goes? So hopefully you get - & know, what I mean! ;D I think you'll be great! And have a wonderful opportunity to shine. I remember one time, first time living away from college town, bigger city, second removed from even smaller first home town (w/college sort of being in the middle). But so up to that point, my experience with others, pretty much any where, had been 99.9% white. So that is basically all I knew or know. And so when I went to work at this restaurant, among half the staff being Mexican, and some of them not even speaking English (you soon learn the value of non verbal or unspoken communication). But also, there were I believe, 4 others who looked like me. And were like me, in that they were raised here as well. But all from different original countries. So anyways, there was some initial, "shock-value." Just in terms of like. . . How do I say anything to them? What am I supposed to do? Or I just don't know what to say to them (something like that, I'm forgetting in the many, many intervening years, exactly those lightening bolt three-first thoughts that zipped n' zapped their way through my mind, as I walked from dining room to kitchen, where 'some of them,' stood. Oh, dear??? ;D (but so anyway, it was all fine & good, and so you just sort of come to find out, that nobody end of the day, for the most part gives a care, it's more about, what can I, or you, do for them. How is your performance. Are you trustworthy, what kind of a person are you? Etc. Fun to be around, and I could go on but why? This conversation should be going in reverse if we're talking work history, relevance, and experience, etc. So, I'll leave it there. Unless you tempt me furth3er~ ha!* :D;) j/k. . .
You words ring true about it all being about the person you are inside that counts. I'll do my best, that's all I can do Mr B. *shake and thank you for sharing your experiences as well.

Tysm MBG and Mike, I appreciate your kindness, caring and thoughtfulness very much! *hug*hug

PS - MBG - Ya I am also feeling very glad and grateful about it all being able to be “checked out” fairly quickly, and of course about my fam being more sincere with their support (as opposed to how they have been for years which is mostly a lot of “talk” about “being here for me” yet not really showing it in a real and sincere way, if that makes sense). Thank you so much for all those kind and thoughtful things you said to me about it, and for being so supportive too, wow! 😮 It is deeply appreciated for sure 😊

Same to you in terms of what you said about “feeling inspired” by me and thinking I have a positive attitude, I always admired reading your kind, funny and positive/ great attitude posts too! 😊

Aw you’re so welcome for the update about it all, I wasn’t sure whether it was “tmi” or anything lol, but in case these end up being my last months on this planet then I at least wanted everyone here to have an idea of “what might have happened to me” if I suddenly ended up never posting again or something.

Anyway hopefully that won’t happen of course, just thought it would be helpful to have “an idea” of what’s going on SHOULD the worst happen, especially since I’ve been a member here for almost 14 (!) years lol. Wasn’t always active though and also maybe most people here wouldn’t really notice or care so I just posted it for those who maybe would. Thank you for being one of them, and for caring, you are definitely very rare and priceless! 😊❤️
You are always noticed, both here and when you are away for a bit, and it ins a positive noticing since you are one of us, and we like knowing you and having you with us. You are cared about here. :)
