Brilliant and true. A splendid analogy. A personal example: I was spared this treatment m, when I simply pointed out a few of my traits in rapid succession. And how long I had been there in a toll that kept changing. Earlier I told my boss that he did not need to be with me in the HR office. I said this within twenty seconds of us sitting there. Then on my return, I told my boss that I would settle all files and did just that over the next few days. I was given a fine lunch at a bar. But I simply did not have it in me to dive into coding! And to corral my expectations. I crumbled!
In a few days I was brought on a project in a much coveted studio at Ogilvy. They were impressed with my pace and accuracy. Then HR called saying that I should return the monies given to me, since I was working at the same place. Basically, I would not be paid. I did not have it me, feeling so alone and stunned. i think it was that same day that I told the new boss that I would walk and that to save his face for hiring me, that he should not carry the ignominy of me refusing payment for the time worked. I rose, looked around kindly, smiled and walked away! No guards. It was a decent chunk of change. $2,750, perhaps even more if I remember. At the end of the day, we are all formed different on account of various ways of seeing, and being.
