...but here I am desperately needing it. I find myself interrupting people more and more. That’s only because I’m so interested in them! And I think I know the rest of what they’re going to say when they’ve only said half of it. I’ve got to prove to myself that people aren’t as predictable as I might think and that it’s RUDE to interrupt. And that I’ll learn a lot lot lot more by listening.
Wow. Four years and I still haven’t done this. I will do this by the time I leave this country, which is in less than a month!
Perfect, because after that I won’t be seeing some of these people ever again.
