Short-Tempered

Yeah. I'm short-tempered. I don't know why...well...my DAD is too, I probably get it from him. As opposed to my mom who's pretty much a pushover (though she's getting better and standing up to my dad more, which I'm happy about).

But so far today (and it's only a quarter to 12), I've blown up at my mom and my boss and almost my assistant (but as he's still fairly new to knowing me, I breathed first). And this is pretty regular. Not so much my mom anymore b/c I no longer live with her, but every day, at LEAST twice a day, I yell at my boss. Now, most people find this shocking, but it does seem to work for us. He knows I'm just letting off steam and that I'll still do what needs to be done and do it right, so he lets me get away with it. Plus he also knows I'm usually right and if I think he's right I really don't yell. So I'm not ENTIRELY upset that I do this, but I do feel stressed a lot, and I COULD be a little nicer... ;-)

I don't know what the deal is though, and sometimes I think to myself that I know I need to calm down when stuff happens, but then when I am angry, I really can't think about calming down...

::sigh::

I probably need therapy, but who has time for that?!?! ;-)

The End.

The best advice is to always take a moment and listen to your heart. I find that my initial reaction to a current situation is actually an old reaction to a past situation. Sounds weird, but it's true!

Anyhoo, in this case if you think you should be nicer, then you probably should! :P

This is a delightful little story!

Most people would envy you for having a boss you can yell at.

And yes, it is a whole better for your own health if you're nice to other people...
