I had to go along to get along but I also had to stand up for myself upon occasion. One such occasion was when I went to a deposition at Rogers & Wells in NYC and informed the receptionist that I was so-and so and was there for the so-and-so deposition. Then I heard her call to the conference room that the COURT REPORTER had arrived - apparently because as a woman in that viper's nest, I must have been a court reporter (or more accurately, a stenographer)! But the 22 male attorneys loved it! I never heard the end of it.

I think the one that sticks out in my mind the most has to do with my husband. At the beginning of our marriage I was surprised by how much input he wanted to have about things like our home décor and also how sensitive he could be at times. I realized that I had made some assumptions about him as a man and a husband based on gender stereotypes and felt very ashamed of myself. Especially because I have a minor in women's studies. <br /><br />monsterhead01(at)comcast(dot)netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-67502429254074740522013-09-18T23:18:09.168-04:002013-09-18T23:18:09.168-04:00Sorry.

There were frequent international meetings held in Paris and other NATO countries. I attended these meetings with my husband as frequently as I could get away from my own job at the American Embassy. I felt that I was a “hostess” for the meetings in Paris and did my best to introduce the wives to one another and see that everyone was enjoying the extra curricular activities that were planned for them. There was one woman who usually attended who had a grouchy attitude and tended to offend people with her off-putting comments. At first, I thought of ignoring her and concentrating on the other ladies. But something inside of me said that I was going to befriend her however I could. I did my best to chat with her frequently and make sure that she was part of the group. Later, she and I became good friends. I figured out that she was just shy and being grouchy was simply her shell she had built up. I’m so glad that I took the time to get to really know her. Even though she was quite outspoken on subjects, I had to admire the fact that she certainly wasn’t a pushover! So, take the time to draw in a shy person the next time you’re at an event. You will probably make a new friend for life.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03217408544219883095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-11484283510843865982013-09-18T16:49:58.456-04:002013-09-18T16:49:58.456-04:00Having had 3 children and working as a part-time r...Having had 3 children and working as a part-time receptionist on delivery suite, I made an assumption that when our 19year old daughter fell pregnant unexpectedly, she would be a nightmare delivering her baby as she can't even stand the thought of needles. I was with her along with her partner when she gave birth and she was EXCEPTIONAL, just gas & air and a painful back to back birth. Never underestimate anybody.
