Limitations on Learning
I love to learn. It is disgusting how much. Every day, I can pretty much guarantee I learn at least 24 new things....some days, it's at least 2400. Most of them are about humanity and human interaction. Sometimes, it's about accounting. Sometimes, guppies.
Today, I had my first interaction with our consultation group and it was fantastic. It is so nice to be able to discuss treatment plans and hear how others approach cases and it's geekery to the fullest.
But my supervisor (who doubles as a full time idiot with just the right amount of smarmy salesman flavor).....
Well, when he tries to explain to me sexual identity theory.....
.....nope. I honestly believe that he can teach me absolutely nothing in this area. Zero.
It's a strange feeling.
Everything has its limitations. Just gotta pay attention to them when they show up.
ADDENDUM
I should also add that he doesn't remember Carrie's name. Ever. Yet always asks about her and says, "How's your...um...partner person?" Usually, I prompt him with her name.
It's been a year. So on Tuesday when he engaged me in this riveting dialogue, I said, "You can do it..."
And he stared at me. He had no idea.
So I said, "She's fine."
I plan on not saying her name again at any time until he is forced to come up with it. Because it's appropriate to be petty when it doesn't hurt anyone.
