Why do human beings have such problems communicating to one another? Why do we have such a difficult time displaying the true nature of our souls to other human beings in an effort to create some form of harmony and peace between us? Why does it become so hard to communicate sometimes and share the innermost mechanics of the gears of our lives with other upright, semi-logical mammals like us?
I came across this incident whereby my client speaks some odd form of alien protocol, capable of simultaneously confusing and pissing me off within milliseconds of her statement. No one else in the world is capable of making me so angry. I believe that I tried as hard as I can to listen to her, it's just that she fails to speak earth language sometimes, and her words unconsciously shift to something involving too many syllables and one word answer. Let's look at a scenario that has been ocurring between us:-
I, in an attempt to determine information about her payment to us, will ask her a simple question such as, "Have you made the payment to us it has since been 30 days credit terms defaulted” She will reply with something like, "Fine" What the?! To which I will ask for details. "Has the cheque been issued?" You know, normal business conversational type things that pull out the details of the event or activity so that we may further discuss it in what is called casual conversation. Her replies, however, will be something along the lines of single word answers which give no details, no insight, and no clue as to how the event or activity affected her in any shape or form. So i repeated "You get my drift?" (I'm a pist mode by now). By the end of the day, my brain looks like mango pudding. Excellent day!
