    I mean, I was all, ok juicy work drama, juicy work drama. Then I got to the last sentence, I think that goes beyond work drama.

        That moment when I’m disqualified from a venting question for going over the meter.

          It’s actually a pretty serious problem. It’s not so much that you’re disqualified, as that you’re ineffective at being heard.

          This is a serious problem. Have you considered listening to great speeches, or rap, or poetry?

              Listen to lots and lots of them. Absorb their patterns, to adopt those patterns, to improve your own communication.

                Oh, that. I’ve tried that with other things. I’m finding it difficult, perhaps it’s my mind going a different way.

            You two said it was “beyond work drama” and came across like it was unfitting as a result. Are we only expected to describe events that go below a certain glass ceiling of conflict?

              That was all you. We neither said nor implied any such thing.

                The first comment you replied to contrasted things that seemed “beyond work drama” with the “juicy work drama” they were looking for.
