Dealbreakers

[catness]

Once upon a time, on a blog I sometimes read, a question was asked about readers' dealbreakers in interpersonal interactions. I wrote a version of this

so assuming I'm not competent (e.g., because I'm a woman), or disrespecting my skills is not appropriate.

Noted. Deal breaker for me: assuming it's cool/OK to behave like the above in my presence. Seriously, it bugs the snot out of me. Worse when they expect me to laugh or offer high fives.

clarity is delicious.

As I say to sauergeek a lot, you want reasonable things. Humans are not awesome at that, even when they are easy reasonable things (which some of those are not). Alas, humans are what we've got ...

[catness]

Heh. Wanting reasonable things. Yup.

Also, I'm playing on a boat tomorrow that leaves at 3:00. It occurs to me that you and sauergeek and I have not yet visited lighthouses. Did you go without me? :)

[kelkyag]

We have not! I was just poking around trying to remember which boating company offered those trips so I could ask you about them.

I have been making noise about going out to the harbor islands on the 17th and gack that's only a week away and I need to send email about it if it's going to happen.

ETA: and I am aware of the cruise, but sadly it's against sauergeek leading the training run for his tour and me having signed on to feed a friend who's approximately quarantined at home. :(

I am so totally stealing the paragraph on Bad Situations at night before bed.
