I'm trying to picture how "tapping my resources" gets worked into a casual conversation. lol
It had to do him calling me for some professional advice. Just saying, "listen, _____ happened and I thought you might be able to help" apparently didn't get his point across properly.
I'm not well-versed on corporate talk, but areas within academia, yes, especially as it relates to the Humanities and "soft sciences." Oh, and politics.
But this was never an issue for me when I was dating because I dated men with a similar interest or background in these areas. It's what made them interested in me. My brain meats.
I totally understand that. Working 2 blocks from the white house, I have to present a certain level beyond every day talk. But when I go home to jersey or even when I travel to southern california, it's really nice to just be normal.
I immediately zero in on "should of" every time I see it. It bugs me.
I usually wouldn't say anything, but since the OP thought this was his blog and he could just throw words at us, but now doesn't understand why we don't agree, I had to point it out.
I read somewhere that CEOs make more spelling and grammar mistakes than people whose jobs are on lower rungs of the corporate ladder. Perhaps they are used to having quality receptionists who make them look good. For what it's worth.
If you really need to boast about being educated, intelligent, well off or strong and independent - chances are you are trying too hard. I personally find it fake and usually distance myself from people like that. Most of us want to surround ourselves with smart people, who happen to figure these things out very quickly, and without you having to tell them.
You usually get this kind of speech from the "first generation" college graduate. This type of woman is usually highly praised in her family for having a basic tool to get a job in the 21st century.
As a result, she feels like everyone needs to know how "educated" she is, as if it's something impressive.
Very interesting. Never heard of such thing but I like to know the origins of certain social behavior.
Now, there is nothing wrong with that but I just know from experience that she most likely will not shut it off and I am not like these political nuts. I will probably not pursue it but just out of curiosity, not asking for advice, do you women ever catch yourself with this unnecessary corporate talk? And men, how do you deal with these types? Again, I am not asking for advice, just curious to see how other people see it.
Eh, just like any other woman. Ive dated some of these types, and what I have found, is that when a woman proclaims shes "edumacated strong and independent" it really means 'I can be a real f'n btch sometimes', Lol.
Why can't we have a conversation without all this hostility? If we were seated at a table for dinner and I deliberately had the waiter exchange your silverware for plastic utensils, while me keeping my sharpened blade, do you seriously think you would utter such nonsense in my presence?
OP, this is a highly "niche" rant: corporate/gov't women admins in DC who are too into jargon/intellectual talk?
If you don't like 'em, date other people. Date their secretaries. Date the hotel staff. It's a big world out there, even in DC.
