Tiring

It's tiring enough to have to sit through a meeting in 65% Thai for almost 3 full hours today, given my fluency and perfect understanding of the local language. What makes it more tiring is having to read between the lines of things being said and sifting out condescending words and tones being said, which of course are not necessarily music to the ears. Why can't people just say exactly what they mean so we all can move on with our lives. Falling short of being politically correct of having to say the right things in meetings, isn't constructive honesty always the best policy to get the best out of people?
