It’s an interesting dilemma, what you comment. And there’s lots of irony to it too (longer explanations!). I am glad you mention it and comment. As you likely know - it’s a bit rare.
I would remind certain folks in my life that what irritates you is what you have often sought out that helped you. That’s TLTR and since you suffer the same, so to speak - I don’t need to explain, or example it (does no good anyway : ) ) hahhh.
However by watching for it (folks past the twitter character limits of response) I’ve found a few others here and there.
One person - that partnered on music over the years picked up on, how to say - “apologizing for explaining stuff to them”; however, concerning which they asked for it. They, with that sent a pic of an old fashion “Composition Book” that was what I was explaining, along with another - we three partnered in music for a while, several years. They said (and from another country, culture starved for relevant input I deduced)… said - I hear it as “love” and am very grateful for it. (It was certainly not “opinion” vs empirical tools to vet, use and self-develop).
We’re still friends. And, small world wound up coming to the US for University. Parents wound up knowing me; call me their/her “guru” hahhh… (not how I see myself, however, I get the meaning… it beats some other things some call “goras” over there : ) )
I try to reel myself in, as much as I can.
It comes from work - touching on the other post. The position I was in and still in many ways is - I write a “technical” report, Whitepaper, even, and would get dinged for brevity by the Techs, or the Core-dump by the Executives. “Summaries” are a standard format - however, email (no attachments) was their culture so, then got - 3 lines with, see below for further : ) with a dotted line. It satisfied both, but still got complaints. Fortunately I always had the authority to match the req’s of my job and then said - “seek assistance to do you job with this document as the guide”… or similar : ) lol!
Never would hear back after proper delegation : )
Eh, anyway… just going on a bit - I enjoy reading your content and now personal story. Wow, to me, you are indeed quite fortunate.
I have a “family” home in Germany (a post WW2 relocation as Sudeten Germans from CZECH) - and because of the post WW2 “civil-law” - impossible to really get into; but, not entirely the .gov’s fault. One day, as has happened with others… I’ll get a letter and it will be, to make this quick - a pennies on the dollar settlement after all there took their fees for “helping” us : ) omg… We couldn’t even get photo albums shipped - hard to believe, but oh so way TLTR to try to make sense of nonsense : )
Eh… still an okay memory - but yours - excellent for you!
