Why is it some girls just have to put others down?
A female client put me through the grill and shredder this week. I have learnt that the client is not always smarter than you (as they have to cover more markets) and probably just want to impress on other people that they are smart.
Because frankly, her line of questioning didn't go anywhere except to contradict whatever I said. It got to the stage where she contradicted me back to the point where we started, and ended up contradicting herself in the process, which I calmly and sweetly pointed out by saying "Ahh, which is back to what I mentioned earlier at the beginning, where blablabla.."
She wouldn't give up, and started a whole new line of questioning which was utterly pointless save to probably drive home the point that 1) she totally doesn't have a life that she has to torment others, 2) she is superior than me cos she's my client and I have to take it and 3) her being fat and ugly must really be a thorn in her backside that she has to overcompensate elsewhere.
I have learnt patience. Yoda. Actually, you can't not have learnt it in this job where you meet literally hundreds of clients. Forced by circumstance, not choice.

Except today I got so PMS-y I whined and whined about my assistant to my boss. An office-ful of guys sometimes don't get the point, because he said, "This is a problem. It needs to be fixed. Fix it like this. Otherwise, we fire him."
*rolls eyes*
I don't want to get anyone fired. I just want to rant, lah.
