Living With Difficult Women [Tuesday, Period 5]
"Well," Max began without preamble. "This past week has certainly been interesting."
Apparently Max was pretty good with understatement. "And while I'm not exactly looking forward to a repeat anytime soon, recent events do present us with an interesting opportunity." Max paused to survey his students thoughtfully. "It turns out that you can learn a lot about the people you know, and about yourself, in stressful situations. We've spent this semester discussing ways to deal with difficult women, and some of you have been, to various degrees, dubious of the usefulness of such skills."
"It is possible that during this week, you've changed your mind. Perhaps you had to deal with a difficult woman out there in the fog. Or perhaps one helped you out and you've begun to realize why simple avoidance is a poor choice when it comes to dealing with them. It is, of course, possible that your stance on things hasn't changed at all, of course, but certainly some of you have had to rethink some of your positions."
"So today we're going to share those stories." He cocked his head slightly to one side as he eyed his students. "And don't think that just because you haven't changed your opinions that you get to avoid sharing. If you didn't learn anything particularly new during the week, then you'll need to talk about what you did and speculate about what the impact that adding a difficult woman to the situation might have had for you."
