Advice and brief Chuck reaction

[rivkat]

Received invitation today to do a recorded interview with a person who nearly makes my eardrums bleed with irritation. It’s my field and would be good exposure, but maturity sometimes consists of saying no to things with a high chance of going wrong, correct? You know how sometimes you just get a sense that a man does not take women as seriously as he takes men? I am convinced that he’s one of those, and there’s this tone in his voice that I can only hear as condescension. Am I being foolish in not gathering my calm and doing battle in a public forum?

Chuck: This is why you shouldn’t keep Ellie out of the loop, folks. My long overdue SPN/Chuck crossover will definitely feature Ellie’s big, big brain.

To me, especially with the way you're talking about it, that sounds like the kind of thing you should only do if you've got a drive for a goal. If you're feeling guilty about not reaching a more diverse audience, spend the time that you would have spent on this interview researching a way to reach part of that audience in another way. But it sounds like it's not even one of your goals, just something you feel like it should be a goal.

Skipping out on this interview, saying no to an opportunity? I'm definitely falling on the side of "maturity sometimes consists of saying no to things with a high chance of going wrong". Pick your battles :D
