Shocker

[hkellick]

I was in for a shocker today when I went to go visit my professor.
He said something that really bothers me.
Apparently there have been a FEW (more than a few) comments about me and the way that I treat people. In short, said Dr. Rabideau, I really need to work on my people skills.
What he sited was a habit of mine to be beyond blunt to the point of saying something that's just offensive. Part of it is totally dependant on the person. I'm not PC. I don't give people the bologna. I say what's on mind and I DON'T think that's a bad thing.
What I do need to work on is being... less abusive, I guess.
And I need to do it NOW because in a year, I'll be out looking for jobs and stuff.
*sighs*
I don't even really see it all the time. I know I have a habit of sticking my foot in my mouth, but not the point that a professor had to pull me aside and discuss it with me...
I dunno what to do. I can certainly try to keep a closer eye on how I speak and try not to be so... offensive.
I guess it worries me that a professor had to pull me aside and say something :/
I'd ask y'all to tell me when I'm being offensive, if y'all don't mind, but if it's a hassle, don't worry about it.

I have more to say, but I'm busy doing my project, so I'll write later.

Was I making too much of the fact that she was a girl? I'll have to reread and look. I just remember being pissed that her princessness couldn't get off her laurels and do anything.
