This is going way OT.
I know what its like to talk without thinking first (believe it or not
). I once underwent a job test. I had the skills, no trouble there, they even told me afterward such (It was by the way a job for rewriting computer systems to handle Y2K). However while doing the test where I had to give an answer on how I would handle a dispute during a meeting I fell victim to my little foible of OPENING MY BIG FAT MOUTH and answering when the kind, friendly interviewer going around the group (as we did the computer test) asked me the question to my face. To the question of what would you do, I momentarily lost my judgement and jokingly answered the nice kind friendly woman talking to me "You just feel like punching both of them don't you
"
. This is when I learnt my people skills needed development. I got my revenge though, the scheme collapsed and none of them got payed.
and just to clarify Atrocities, I didn't hear it at a convention myself (don't get many StarTrek or SciFi conventions when you live on an island that is the Last stop before the South Pole), however I do read StarTrek books and webpages and its a widely known story that as I said is generally considered lighthearted canon.
