Firstly, thank you, Geon, for your interest in my blog and sorry that I haven't responded.

To be honest, it has been an interesting week.
I got a call out, the other day, to a guy named Ben, who had a very badly blocked toilet. It took a couple of days to sort things out because his drain was blocked too. I got to spend too much quite a bit of time with Ben. Ben was a talker who didn't need any replies. Whenever I said something, he just carried on with what he wanted to tell me or started a new topic. My words were wasted. Funnily enough, I could have got the job done quicker if he had just shut up and listened. I'm not too sure how he relieved himself on the night in between. As I said, I couldn't get a word in.
A conversation should leave room for both people to listen and then say things. It requires both people to listen to what the other person is saying. It appears that some people just don't understand the concept of listening.
There you go.
Again, thanks to Geon for showing so much interest in my blog.
Ah, that sucks! I had a similar experience today. Listening is very important.

I've got a feeling that I might regret asking Geon that question.

ReplyDeleteHi Bango.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who Richard knows sat in some shit and requires assistance. I assume that this is more your domain than mine. Can you check it out?
Hi Bango. I guess that you've been busy as you haven't blogged in a while or perhaps it's because there's not much going on in this blogging confederacy.
