(no subject)
well today I had to have a meeting with my boss. It was a crappy meeting and I didnt like it. Every time it'smore of "you come off as cocky and think you are smarter than people" I have heard that all my life. The part that shocked me was the Sherman (my boss) said he thought my vocabulary made me come off as too smart. I felt offended by this because I dont think I should havetotalk dumb to people. If the worry is that I am commingoff as full of my self and condescending talking stupid is only going to make that seem more pronounced. In the meeting I used the word "conciliatory" and he said that was an example of words not to use because he didnt know what it meant. I didnt get this at all that just happened to be the word that meant the thing that was in my head. I stopped listening to "The Sports Junkies" radio show because I thought it was contributing to my negative vocab. I now listen to NPR almost constantly and apparently it has caused my vocabulary to be too smart? I dontknow what to do about this. If I dumb down people will pick up on that and it will exacerbate (oops too big a word) the situation. If I keep talking the way I normally do I make people feeldumb? That sucks balls.
In other news I met Clarence Turner at Bangkok Blues after the jam. It was a huge deal and I didnt say much but I hope he wasnt put off by me or anything. I told him that he was going to be playing my bar(the music box) until the owners killed it. I wish he had played and I wich I had met him as the booking guy at the box not just some hapr playing kid who happens to know Jim and therefore the whole local blues world. Also I heard from fellow amature harp player and legit government dude commissioner Adlestein in an interview on NPR. So that was cool, I heard him and Isaid outloud in my truck "I met that guy" Hurray for me.
