I am unfortunately quite masculine looking...I don't have those "cute moments" that so often disarm others during tense moments. Between being addressed as "Sir" and "Buddy", I've pretty much given up on that technique.
Other than that, I've gotten some real "wisdom to work with" here.
Thanks, drivers!

don't let that stop you jewels. i have to wear a uniform shirt, one of those gawdawful polo/golf things with no bust darts so it just hangs. yuck. sometimes when they call me by anything other than driver or the co. name i point to my name (so sweetly embroidered on top of the pocket) and say

I can't believe you said that!!! :lol: :lol:
I cracked up! Those, however, I do have...so maybe that will help! :lol:
Seriously, though, I needed these reminders. WK, as always, you rock. You're absolutely right about why my "former skills" seem to have disappeared. They're slowly reappearing, now that my driving is getting more reliable. Thanks for saying that.
The poster who came to know why it's so important to NOT "go off" on those at a dock...since we so often will have to deal with them again...Thank you, also, for sharing that. What a lesson that must have been. I appreciate your allowing me to learn from your experience!
I'm about to celebrate my first year. I guess it's time for me get weaned, eh?? :wink:
Thanks, all
