...whee!
*giggles* I really can't seem to avoid it - at least, unless I became something I'm not, or gave up things I like (like my hair). People start treating me as a mix of child and adult. They did it when I was a child; they do it now that I'm grown and working.
The woman in HR who has been helping me with the hiring process (and has been treated to my vast confusion because the process was just introduced, nobody told me about it until I'd already started doing things the way we USED to do them, and I've had no training) has been very nice. But she's also calling me "sweetie".
I've had friends who would have lost it, or at the very least felt she was being awful. Me? I find it amusing. I mean...I can see what it is that prompts it. I just don't see the need to change it. I'm not doing it to get that reaction, so I don't feel bad about it; the reaction doesn't affect my ability to do my job (at least not negatively) as far as I can tell; so why worry about it?
