Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Asura.Kingnobody said: » Fenrir.Weakness said: » Also since nobody else said it. Something something, I'd take Seha for a ride, something something. Not that I wasn't thinking of saying the same thing *wink wink* Wait, what happened? We're not allowed to make sex jokes about one another? But... I thought turning everything Seha said into a sex joke was like... normal here? I've been doing 48s and school has been whooping my ***. Haven't been around a lot. Another 250 word discussion post :x at least this case thing I have to read isn't 15 pages (it's 5!)

Tact is for people who have to pretend they have charm or happen to be afraid of offending people.

That said, I don't go out of my way to actually offend someone that often.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't do it at all. Tact... *thinks*
tact..? *thinks harder* mmm... *massages head* no, sorry don't know what that is. Bloodrose said: » Tact is for people who have to pretend they have charm or happen to be afraid of offending people. I have a "verbal diarrhea" problem. I just habitually say whatever pops into my head, and proceed to have ***come out of my mouth. Some people appreciate it because they know I don't think enough to lie about things. Other hate it because they can't accept the truth. Have had several stern "talking to's" over the past year because of hurt people's feelings in school. Among such sayings is the popular, "It's not my fault you're stupid." Thankfully my chosen career path requires a very high degree of being able to have thick skin. Well, someone must be looking out for me. Somehow my check wasn't as devastating as I anticipated due to some bizarre "Personal holiday" addition of 24 hours, despite having been suspended and only working 24 hours for the week in question..

As much as I don't want to, I strongly disagree with this one. Tact goes far beyond the notion of simply avoiding trespass or offending others. Understanding your scenario and word choice have consequence far beyond such short sightedness. Asura.Kingnobody said: » Artemicion said: » Well, someone must be looking out for me.

Looks like I'll actually be able to get my friend his present after all~ No. Vacation checks are always separate and sent to you a week or two after your anniversary with the company, which usually for me is around late March/early April. I still can't figure out where these 24 hours of "Personal holiday" came from, but it definitely saved my bacon in what would otherwise be a very tough patch for me.

Tact goes far beyond the notion of simply avoiding trespass or offending others. Understanding your scenario and word choice have consequence far beyond such short sightedness. There are many scenarios where tact can be employed, as well as word choice, but that's really subjective, since there's nothing objective about it.

Either that or it was a paid suspension. You should probably figure out how to do that again~ It has a bit to do with diplomacy and perception too; not just walking on eggshells. That's only half of it really.

In the case someone *is* offended, they try to make amends or retract their statements, or offer clarification. Which is, again, walking on eggshells.

KN's new avatar makes me want to watch DBZ... Now on episode 3.

Tact often means lies. I'd rather honest brutality than sugar bs. And I've always acted according to this.

Eh, I think that viewpoint is a bit short sighted, but agree to disagree I suppose. Another social norm I don't understand. Honesty is all that matters to me, just cause I give you a bad news without sugar coating doesn't mean I lack empathy for you.

Comments like this always make me curious about getting to actually know Seha. But then I'm held back by the understanding that regardless of intentions I'll always be "some creepy internet guy" to women. |
