let's say someone comes up to you and asks you, "How do you really feel about your job?" worse yet, it's your manager or boss. you're unhappy but you don't want to admit your true feelings about the situation to avoid a potential situation. to deal with this, you can distract the person from the original question through a detour/digression. lead the person away to something related. tonight this happened to me so i said quickly, "Yes." But my manager attempted to push the issue (he was drunk though). I moved the discussion to about how a previous coworker would talk about how Japanese would argue over work while drunk. i managed to move the conversation away enough from the original question and evaded it.

you have to move fast and steer the question away towards something interesting and that makes the person forget what they asked.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:04:28 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2007/7/10/b1ea27e09379d94a24aa62c73578deb5.html
