:: yes i hear you ::

i am someone who is highly sensitive to non-verbal communication. i can tell wat u think of me jus by having u say one word: my name. whether u r authoritative, appreciation or simply out of pity, it gives it all away when u call me.

some ppl in my office, especially e high ranking ones, tend to call me in a very degrading tone. the kind of "kelly" tt means "i am higher ranking than u so jus do wat i tell u to". then there's another kind of high rankers tt calls e "kelly" tt means "i wud realli appreciate it if u cud help me". & the kind tt i am mostly greeted with is e kind of "kelly" tt means "i'm so glad to c u". it's hard to describe the tones asserted into one word jus by using words but it's abt there. & e very first of "kelly" absolutely irks me. it sounds like they r calling their maid.

but i guess i can do nothing abt it. cuz it is true, they r higher in rank, i jus gotta do wat they tell me to. but surely there can b less attitude & more manners in the way they talk to me. well, i have never looked up to power nor status. we r all humans after all.
