One of the things that I struggle with on almost a daily basis is how to stay nice to people who keep asking you the same question repeatedly after you have answered the question. That probably means that I shouldn’t ever try to get a career caring for senior citizens, doesn’t it?
Today I ran into some people that I had met a couple of months ago at a business meeting, and they recognized me, and although I tried to avoid them it was impossible to do so. I ended up sitting next to them at a presentation. They kept asking me questions that I could not answer, and I was having a hard time staying nice to them. After all, how many times do I have to say “I don’t know” to the same question? I wonder if my intolerence is based in my own fear that some day I will be an old imbecile myself. I hate to think that will happen any time soon, and I hope that if and when it happens that other people will be more tolerent of me than I feel that I have been. I feel guilty about that.
