Diplomacy

We are about to have the annual general meeting for our building association, and received the papers to prepare.

Met up with a neighbour tonight to compare notes. We agree on the points we want to bring forward at the meeting, and since I had made the notes it was agreed that I would write the email, cc'ing everybody in the house.

When my neighbour politely suggested that I would be diplomatic, we first paused, then laughed and hastily changed our minds, so now I will send him the points and he will compose the email. Besides, his German is better than mine.

Ha! yeah, you and diplomacy don't really go together ;)
Hope all goes well, so glad I don't have to do those things

Yeah, thanks. Ish. But I think it's a strength to know ones weaknesses. And I'm happy to do this. It's a bit like loving to fill in questionnaires. Cannot help it, but love criticizing.
