Axl Rose 37 years of 1983 2020 thank you for the memories shirt

When I see someone get interrupted, I make sure to Axl Rose 37 years of 1983 2020 thank you for the memories shirt and roll my eyes so they know that what happened wasn’t okay. If it’s a blatantly disrespectful interruption, I have absolutely held my hand up at the interrupter and said, “I’d like to hear the rest of what (interrupted) has to say, I value your addition but please wait a moment.” and motion for the interrupted person to continue. I spent too much of my life getting interrupted and no longer tolerate it so I try to use my newfound ability to set boundaries for others, as well. Yes, some people do call me a bitch, but I’d rather be a bitch than an enabler of mistreatment.

I’d call you a hero! I had a former supervisor pull the Axl Rose 37 years of 1983 2020 thank you for the memories shirt on me at a conference workshop for our field, more than a decade after I’d worked for her. Another woman in our group did what you did, minus the eyeroll, and I got the chance to contribute to the discussion. I had been treated badly at that job, so it really made me feel good that someone else intervened. I wasn’t sure how to assert myself without being rude. The story has a happy ending. I’ve become more involved with the group that holds the conferences and I’m getting to know other people in my field in different parts of the country. And the topics are really interesting! Nice to meet like minded people.
