One
of my new mantras: Do not ask me a question to which you have already decided
the answer!
It
interrupts my train of thought (frustrating for someone already plagued with
bipolar disorder - squirrel!), and annoys 'you' when I offer my opinion if it's
different from what you have already decided.
Just
make a choice. If you really want my validation, say: "Hey, Julie, sorry
to interrupt, I've decided to do (insert whatever it is you've already
decided). Do you see any problems with doing 'it' that way?"
and
I'll either point out the obvious problem that you can't see because you're too
close to the situation, or offer you validation by saying "Great
idea!"
Then
you can go back to doing whatever it was you were going to do anyway, and I can
attempt to figure out what I was trying to do when I was so rudely
interrupted...
Oh,
what a cute video of a squirrel. I should research how to bring more squirrels
up to our bird feeder. "Okay, Google..."
