Code entry
This was in my assigned reading for UNIV 1001 Learning Guide Unit 4. It triggered me as vindication for the moment Stephanie turned on me. When I asked why we empty the blue bowls while counting money, her answer wasn't clear to me. The next time I reached that step, I forgot to empty them. She got upset at the result and said everything is all messed up now. I again asked for clarification, and she said, "Just never mind." She huffed and slammed her way through the rest of the task while I sat there confused not knowing what to do next. Blythe asked me, "Are you finished?" I said, "I don't know what's happening right now." Abby snorted and left the room. I followed up by email to Stephanie apologizing and seeking clarification. She pretty much said drop it. Then she wrote a procedure. I think she felt like I called her bluff or something, when I was genuinely just confused. This excerpt gave me great comfort. I want to post it on my desk. "Intelligent people always question and evaluate. This doesn’t mean they don’t trust others; they just need verification of facts to understand a topic well. It doesn’t make sense to learn incomplete or incorrect information about a subject just because you didn’t take the time to evaluate all the sources at your disposal. When early explorers were afraid to sail the world for fear of falling off the edge, they weren’t stupid; they just didn’t have all the necessary data to evaluate the situation." 1.
