Tonight while I was preparing dinner I received a phone call. They wanted my opinion, particularly on the upcoming republican primary election. Since I'm always ready, willing and able to give my opinion on anything at any time I took the call.
Throughout the call the girl had trouble reading the questions. Certain words such as constituents, political and even some smaller words gave her problems. I was getting annoyed and impatient with her inability to read. I even had to finish some of the words for her.
About three quarters through the call I realized that even though this girl had trouble reading, she at least tried. She was working and not sitting home complaining that she didn't have a job and it was someone else's fault. I'm sorry now that I was so impatient with her. She should be commended. She's trying.
I learned a lesson tonight. I should not judge a person so quickly.

but.. .. if someone wants your opinion and hire someone to ask you... at least the person should be trained to read the questions correctly.
That's the part I don't like. Were you the first person she'd called? Why hadn't she done her homework and read the questions aloud. Why hadn't she studied her material?
I guess you have more grace to give than I.
