Venting Frustrations

You know how sometimes something someone says can just rub you the WRONG way? Maybe it was their timing, maybe it was extenuating circumstances related to the situation that added to the whole “straw-that-broke-the-camels-back” feeling of the communication, but whatever it was, it just caused intense, MUST RESOLVE emotions in you.

In this case it is the classic, carrot and stick method, I never seem to see the carrot (yet, somehow I believe it is out there somewhere), but the stick is a constant concrete reality that seems to bash me upside the head more often then not. So, if I have been short with people recently, on the verge of tears or perhaps screamed at you recently over the phone, in person, via IM, or e-mail, believe me when I say, it’s not you, it’s me. I am just about ready to hang up my work-ethic and run away to join the circus…although G-d’s honest truth, that looks rather demanding as well. Maybe I’ll snatch one of those “Work From Home” fliers off the side of the freeway and keep the dog company as I sell pyramid schemes to unsuspecting senior citizens and stay-at-home parents.
