when you ask a question, people will automatically assume that they know what you're asking & then proceed to answer, without answering your question? Please, take a moment & actually hear what is being asked.
This happened twice today in a meeting, with two different people. So instead of getting a straight yes/no answer, with minimal explanation, which is what I was after. No, instead I receive a 5 minute explanation of a question that wasn't even asked. Seriously?!?!
I get that the one person has the whole condesending attitude & that he is sooo much more all-knowing than the peons he works with, but come on. It is very difficult to show respect to superiors, when half the stuff out of their mouth is just a bunch of hoity-toity, I'm better than you crap. UGH!!
Thankfully tomorrow is another day & with any luck, I can avoid conversations with this person completely. Wish me luck!! :)
P.S. My FAVORITE scrapbook store is hiring part-time help on the weekends. Soooo tempting to apply for the job. I won't because it's coming upon spring/summer & we'll be super-busy, but man is it ever tempting. Maybe they'll need help this fall/winter.
