DMSI 1.0 - 3.3.2 Dying for MSI

[Shannon]

No obvious IOI's but a few interesting things happenned in the last few days. At the grocery store I walk by this couple with a 1 to 2 year old toddler in the buggy. He see's me and stretches his arms for me to pick him up. For obvious reasons, I could not do that. I walk pass them and turn to look back. He's pointing at me and having a melt down. I never experienced anything like it and it felt so surreal. I felt like a toy he could not have. I ended up continuing walking as I did not want to cause problems.

Yesterday. A few of my female colleagues called me sir at work. Kind of felt awkward as this has never happened before. One of them with which my interactions are always business like and formal ended up laughing at everything I was saying. She kept profusely apologizing for a trivial (she did not remember how to set up the alarm on the buiding at the end of the day) thing that happened. The same thing happened at the store later on at the check out as the cashier was practically laughing at every thing that I said.

At the gym, I cross path with one of the women who was checking me out a few days ago. I caught her looking at me with this blank stare.

Translation: No IOIs, but here are the IOIs I experienced.

Respect hit; IOI.

Laughing at everything you were saying: IOI

She kept profusely apologizing for a trivial (she did not remember how to set up the alarm on the buiding at the end of the day) thing that happened.

Apologizing profusely over nothing: respect and status hit. IOI

DIHL. IOI.
