I look like I’m straight out of school, sometimes people explain things to me like I know nothing.

Not that I think they’re automatically malicious. Sometimes I find myself in the “explaining” position because I think not explaining makes me sound I’m cooped in an ivory tower.

it’s always a gamble when trying to share knowledge.

I’ll even ask people on the job if they know something and they just reflexively say yes when they absolutely do not.

LOL my brother and I were having a discussion just now about our Ivory Towers…He works in police and his real higher up always wear white shirts. I work kinda in the same field as an RN and I have to answer to a doctor who wears white or if I royally fuck up and the hospital has to take responsibility I answer to a room full of them.
