I actually hold the opposite view--that many people live pretty thoughtlessly.

It's also important to try to make it right if it will have a long-range negative outcome. For the most part though, the older I get, the less i want to live in conflict. So it needs to be critical before I'll invest in that frame.thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-17101542009883714362008-03-12T09:03:00.000-05:002008-03-12T09:03:00.000-05:00I'm sure others would disagree, but I like to thin...I'm sure others would disagree, but I like to think that a large part of my job is about righting wrongs.<BR/><BR/>As for the non-job parts of my life, I probably don't make nearly enough effort to plant seeds and I'm far too willing to write people off as lost causes.

I have learned from my own mistakes that very often people don't mean to cause me pain but do so without realizing it. I cut those people some slack. The ones who get overbearing in their improper behavior sometimes demand a response, though. I am often more than happy to oblige these folks as well. If I have been wronged by a business, I tend to avoid it in the future and share my knowledge of their ways in the future. Very often I bring my grievance to that company, though, and expect resolution. I have a fair track record at getting what I want or something close to it, but I don't think anyone in this day and age really gets a positive response even half the time from customer service employees. Calling out a wronged teacher tends to have a painful effect (as my post today demonstrates) on the GPA, if not the career in general.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to more responses.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826309601023733396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-89140757317879919682008-03-12T07:09:00.000-05:002008-03-12T07:09:00.000-05:00that is one of the great things about you julie--y...that is one of the great things about you julie--you speak up. and no matter how people act or fail to act in response you, like you've said, have planted a seed. <BR/><BR/>it will grow.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://runningonempty-christine.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Running on empty</A>Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662448292809451387noreply@blogger.com
