Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon

I’d like to begin by getting to know the class. If you could tell me why you picked this class... "Because I had to" is not an acceptable answer. We all have choices, whether it is clear or if it is not.

I’d also like to know what you hope to learn here.

Now, we’re going to have little bit or a writing assignment here. This won’t be graded. Yes, you have to do it as it does count towards class participation. For the next class, I want you to give me a minimum of 1 page, double spaced, answer to this question:

What do I think advanced negotiations are?

We will be discussing this next week. I think this will be a good way to get a feel of where we are... and where we need to go.

Why do I get the feeling the answers will scare me right back to Naboo?

If by dance you mean dance then yes. Otherwise: Also yes.

*smirks*

Yeah, me too.

The panchanko is a dangerous dance.

So, did yo get to choose your... dance partner or did they?

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

*shudders*

They did. Big burly guy they picked, too.

You?

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

I think they called him "Deargodthatwontfitnogetitiawaynomommyhelpmeplease!"

So, same planet, then. Never going back there. Not for all the spice on Kessel.

You know the only thing worse than the punishment for pissing on the thingee?

Accidently calling the leader a chick. Danny boy was smarting for days over that one.

What's the name of this planet?

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Damned if I can say it. I'm guessing P3X-058 won't ring a bell anywhere will it?

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Afraid not. The Repubic's classification system differs.

Bizarre as it is, this is actually a very good, albeit colorful example, of diplomacy and advanced negotitions.

You mean I helped? Sweet!

Apparently I really need this class. Really. As in like a really needed thing that I need a lot.

Really.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

I believe you.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how good it is to have someone believe me about something without a medical exam.

*drawl*

Ya think?

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Not often.

*visibly restrains self from saying "It shows" because Miss Amidala is looking at her again*

You won't have anything to unlearn then, hunh?

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that whole "stop-killing people" thing. And all that crap about dismemberment body-hiding too of course.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

It's good to have goals. *salutes you in your efforts with as straight a face as she can maintain*

I usually hire people for that stuff.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Well, on behalf of those of us who do the dirty work I'd like to say: QUIT BITCHING AT US! IT TAKES TIME TO DO A JOB RIGHT DAMMIT! *Big smile*

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Language, please.

*winces at the volume*

And now we know how you got into the "Advanced" class, with those lungs... were you a drill sergeant in a former life? Ow.

And you have not yet *seen* bitch. *rubs ears again, looks resentful*
