All I had to say was "I need to get back to work" but I couldn't really get a word in without interrupting.Travishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03941801658095627535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114648.post-1150384905472730502006-06-15T08:21:00.000-07:002006-06-15T08:21:00.000-07:002006-06-15T08:21:00.000-07:00Yeah - keeping eye contact really does give people the impression you are listening. Now, if you look the other way and mutter "uh-huh" over and over again, they sometimes get it. Or if while you are looking at them, if you get a more angry look on your face - that works great! I have one look that I get which says "LEAVE ME ALONE!", but than again, I think I developed that naturally growing up where I did.Louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114648.post-1150375982914578452006-06-15T05:53:00.000-07:002006-06-15T05:53:00.000-07:002006-06-15T05:53:00.000-07:00Looking deeply into one's eyes mentally screaming "I HATE YOU" just looks like you are intently listening.stoleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08788683962503964865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114648.post-1150326575638999182006-06-14T16:09:00.000-07:002006-06-14T16:09:00.000-07:002006-06-14T16:09:00.000-07:00I find that hardly ever works, especially if the person in question is that oblivious. Sometimes being a lot more direct is what it takes.Louisenoreply@blogger.com
