Okay, since I am always the one who is complaining about the open area and how it is extremely noisy, Totally annoying, and very unfriendly. I have to now acknowledge the fact that sometimes it does indeed has its benefits.
Well, with today being the shittiest day on earth of one of the shittiest week on earth as well. *Excuse my French, just discovered saying shit makes me feel better. So, Shit, shit and Shit*
Anywho, I was feeling really bad so I was just sitting there starring at the excel sheet hoping that it would miraculously be done on its own when a phone call was received by the colleague sitting in the cube next to me. Which is a normal thing I know but what attracted my attention was that This guy in particular takes calls most of the day *Another perk you get to know in open areas, lucky me* So, I am pretty familiar with the tone, the sound, and the pitch of his voice. But, this time it was like totally weird, his tone was like softer, tenderer, quieter, and a lot more romantic than his usual tone.
I honestly got curious, it was like "Mr. Smooth Operator" is in the house. Obviously the guy was talking to a lady and the lady was pissed, from his way of talking I figured he did something wrong or pissed her off in a way, may be two. But he kept saying the following three Questions:
- "Do you really believe that? You know me."
- "How Does that make you feel?"
- "What Can I do now to make you feel better?"
Basically these three questions were repeated in more ways than you could ever imagine and it took the guy 10 minutes and then Things got quieter and by the end of the call he was laughing and cracking jokes. Honestly I was very impressed, this was a guy who knew how to handle his lady. It kind of amused me and got me out of the mood. So, there guys it is not only about knowing what to say but it is also about "HOW" to say it.
Now after reading this post tell me, "How Does that make you feel?"
