PMA

PMA ... not to be confused with PMS ... is one of those things I remember from my highschool days. It stands for POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. I don't remember which teacher this came from or the circumstances of it being passed on to us at the
all girls school (Jody? ... any thoughts?), but I do know it is one of those things that stuck (unlike any information from chemistry or functions and relations classes!). I am having a little difficulty having a PMA today ... the 'rumours' are out again and as can be expected, I am starting to accept that our referral most likely will NOT come around the end of March. I think, for all intents and purposes, let's just say, I'm almost certain, that we will receive a referral some time before the end of summer .... how's that for an open window?! Today I also became acutely aware of the 'ticker' I placed behind my desk, to countdown to referral. Although I have removed about 5 group numbers since September, there are still 4 to go before us. Just imagine ... when our paperwork went in, there were about 4 groups getting a referral each month! This continues to provide evidence of the magnitude of the slow down. And so although I may not be 'positive', I am getting a bit of an 'attitude' AND bordering on going absolutetly 'mental'. Now there's PMA for you ................
