In reply to Why can't I ever remember the lessons I learn????, posted by Racer on November 9, 2000, at 20:54:07
Thank you, everyone, for all your kindness and support. It always gives me a warm feeling to know that someone's rooting for me.
The deep question above wasn't really the literal one, why must this client be SUCH an idiot, but the underlying one: I know that trying to avoid conflict always gets me in trouble, while speaking up for myself avoids that trouble. Why, then, do I constantly forget that lesson and try to avoid trouble by clamming up?
Secondary question: do any of you have similar questions you've had to learn and relearn over and over?
Tertiary* question: Why can't we ever get it drilled into our heads and save ourselves the frustration of having to learn it unpleasantly over and over and over again?
Thanks!
