I had to walk away. Otherwise I knew that I was going to say something unfortunate.
This woman came up to me and greeted me at an event I attended this week. During the ensuing conversation I mentioned that one of the grads of my course had tried to connect with her and that evidently it didn't happen.
The reply was, "Oh no, first of all I am too busy and second, for me to mention her to my clients would not be right." I was dumbfounded. This person represents a non-profit agency that provides services and resources to a specific community segment. I wonder how she finds her resources? What closed-minded thinking.
So as I mentioned above, I had to walk away before the words, "Ya', dumb shit," came out of my mouth.
Am I guess I am one to hold a grudge, because if this person ever wants help from me in the future, I am going to be way too busy to even answer the request.
What are your thoughts on this?
