Just because it doesn't matter to you, doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

Pubic speaking takes talent.

Thanks Mark! I enjoy it and have been getting more gigs doing it. I just need more topics to discuss. Maybe I'll do on online for the general public someday.

Do you need special pants for that?

Only my regular big boy pants.

That was really nice of you to help your accountant 'friend', currently I don't think I could have done that, especially if said person was giving me grief for a long time.

During your tutoring, did she ever mention what her major malfunction happened to be? It takes a special kind of person to have the gall to ask for help from someone they've been antagonizing.

I figure I had to - she's not a bad person, I don't think. Just...ill-mannered and ill-adjusted. She's older than me, which is old already, so I think she needs this win, somehow. Who knows, she might become a better person.

I think that she's just labouring under some type of "misfit" issue. I was a misfit so I know it takes a lot of effort to try and not be. Some people never see that about themselves.

I'm such a sucker...

I have a friend who is a lawyer who likes to argue about anything they can leverage an argument out of. That's just their nature for whatever reason and it makes them a good a lawyer. I've learned to step aside from it. A lot of times I just laugh really hard and talk about how ridiculous the conversation itself is so that it doesn't come off as an attack and avoids the entire argument.

I think that it's one of those stereotypes of lawyers that they just like to argue; most good lawyers seek consensus. The accountant is a bit of a wannabe and I think the wannabes work harder at living up to the stereotypes than others.
