Augment Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 To what I'm referring, is the business dinner I'm at, at the moment. I mean I have no problem wearing a nice dress and heals, and having my hair all done up. I'm quite use to what I'm doing, it's just that everytime the meeting is with a male they think I'm going to sleep with them to close up the deal. It makes you wanna punch them across the face. I'm "powedering my nose" at the moment to get a moment away from the pig.Now I have to get back to fighting his hand off my hip and argue that I'll sue for sexual harrasment if he doesn't come to terms.Just so you all know...this is Rianna's doing, she wanted this account.

Wakinyan Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Well you just dont have that "Do whatever it takes" cut throat business ethic then. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conduit Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Kick him in the groin. Er, uh politely indicate that your interests are purely buisness. Yeah, don't listen to me. I think my solution to all of lifes problems is 'kick him in the groin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augment Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Yes, well I could lead him on then melt him with my energy form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augment Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 You're probably right, I'm currently getting the evil eye from Rianna because I'm using the terminal isntead of flattering this moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakinyan Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Get one of those Opdevices that look like a compact. That way people will just think you are vain rather than talking to someone other than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Or be like me. A thought or two, and you got your message sent, and get to check the latest comic strips at the same time.Helps to lighten the mood.Of course, it helps to have a medium for which you can access an open IR or Wireless port. Me, I have a simple antenna that looks like a piece of jewlery, while I have the main meat of the descrambler and data processors hidden elsewhere on my person.

Tarot Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Mmm.I know what Two does in similar situations but that would get you sued for assault. Four might take him up on his offer but is just as likely to go after his date as him. Now number Three's got a system... Its pretty slick but a little extreme. She gives them a look of wide-eyed innocence and starts clinging on them. After a few a minute when their ego swells up she starts talking how great it is to be with a real man, not like the last pig she was with and how disappointing that was. How she misses him sometimes but given how unsuitable he was as a long term prospsect it was probably a very good decision to have him taken care of by Totentanz. And how it certainly wasn't her fault that the elite caught up with him at a family reunion though it was so nice of DeVries to keep her name out of the whole affair.I know it sounds silly but when she does it, the results are usually very striking.

Jager Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Potentia, the whole "my boyfriend is an Elite" works surprisingly well. Follow it up with "he finds your current proposal really interesting, and as soon as he finishes hunting down whomever it is he's been hired to take care of", and smile innocently when you say it, as if you don't know precisely what it is he does.Or, you could go with the "my sister and I are inseperable, so if you really think you are up to two NOVA women -- pity about the last client's coranary".Or, you could simply say, "Mr. {blank}, my sister and I run an ethical operation based on professionalism, competance, and trust. If our capabilities and reputation are not enough, you really should look elsewhere." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Well, if a male advances and he is insufficient for breeding and is persistent, I say hit him or bite him. Not enough to kill, but bloody him up a bit. Maybe he'll take the hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Jones Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I've had this problem in the past while trying to get funding for research. Men and women alike seem to think that a friendly romp in the cloak room is how I do buisness. Luckily over time I've built my reputation enough that I don't really need to be in these types of meetings anymore. I usually get someone else to do it for me.My advice? Jager had good advice for you. Explain that you "run an ethical..."etc. If he's drunk (I'll assume he's had a few drinks) use as many big words as possible. It will confuse him and he may take it more seriously. Other then that, I say stick with it. You may ge to the point where you don't have to deal with it. Maybe consider hiring someone.

Augment Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Well he ended up starting to behave himself. It might have something to do with the fact I started glowing later like I was about to get pissed and change forms. When he found out he was actually doing business with a Nova things started to work much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2.2Thz pink thong!! Sorry couldn't help myself. Heheh.Actually, I incorporate all of the tech I require in the things I wear.Form follows function. I'm never away from a terminal, and if I can get in the opnet via a wireless connection or whatever "portal" is available, I'm pretty much in. And people look for me to pull out some sort of super-computer locket or PDA wand or something to do my work.Then when I do my mojo, everyone looks at me like they just witnessed Merlin at work.It's just binary code... >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augment Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Unfortunately Cull, as long as I have to deal with non-novas, I have to abide with their laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Baby Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I know where you are coming from. i have had to put up with many of the same things. I solved most of my problems by going out and starting my own company and dealing with people in ways that were less personal, or in places that game me the control over the conduct.
