May I ask what is unreasonable of my asking "Jackie, please, I need a few minutes to compose myself"?

I think she honestly believes she knows the best approach to dealing with it. She's really a very nice person otherwise. I dunno, she's got three children so maybe it works over the dinner table?
She is, he's a nice guy and, you know, so is she! It's just this weird method of dealing with people that makes us all a little crazy. It's taking its toll on the teams as well, when staffing projects we're starting to see people say "ok, well, if {X} is on the project, I'm not interested." and we have to think "Do…
This won't work for you, obviously, but I solve my coworker's technique by going to the Men's room. She may not 'get' that sometimes a little quiet space lets anger spin-down but she also doesn't have the nerve to follow into the Men's.
I have a coworker who just will NOT leave you alone when you're angry. She just feels people should be happy all the time (ALL THE F*CKING TIME) and when she detects you're angry, even if she's not the issue, she just needles at you with "You shouldn't be angry, anger doesn't solve anything, you should just let it…
We're in (ughh) New Brunswick at the moment. I think the NB approach is easier to understand: "Buddy, you have 1 freaking point left, maybe you should be takin' the bus?"
In my part of Canada it's called "Distracted Driving" and covers ANY and all use of hand-held devices (voice operated cell phones are exempt.) The fine is $172.50 (we canucks are SO precise, eh?) and loss of 3 license points for 2 years.
I don't have a TP-link but I'm gonna try and translate what you need to do using how's I've done something like this in the past with my ASUS. And I'm assuming you have a laptop or tablet as well as the TP-link and Chromecast. As you've seen, the issue is the hotel's wireless insists on the "OK, I'll accept the risk"…
I voted to the ASUS out of 'family loyalty' - I've used the wl330ge (NUL's 'grandfather') for a few years with great success.

In that situation, yes, but be sparing about it because they'll sense something's up.
Yeah, "digest" the idea - not literally, you know, hyperbole.
Yes - this is the technique done right. Repeat in your own words so you have your own understanding and the other person knows you listened enough to digest it.
Star times 1000! I'm currently working with someone who does just that - wastes time during meetings to repeat EXACTLY what was just said. So annoying. It's like that tip "Use the other person's name during the conversation so they know you're 'engaged'" twaddle.
I recently flew British Airways (Toronto-London-Toronto) and it was a pair of the best flight's I've ever had. First was on a 747 (First time) and the leg room was excellent (The first thing I look for in a flight.), mostly quiet (Evening flight, sooo) and smooth. The second was on one of the new 787 Dreamliners, and…
MSG may not be the (un)silent killer but I've got a couple of friends who get the royal runs when they eat it - as my apt's bathroom would agree after we tried take-away from "a new place."
I've almost always managed to live within walking distance of work - but for me, walking distance is about 45min or less.
It's the minimal colour-set chosen to ensure no neighboring countries have the same one.
