Mantra.
In my last post I mentioned my mantra. "I will be pleasantly surprised by my faith in humanity and will be proven right when I give people the benefit of the doubt." When I sat down at the computer a few minutes ago, I was all ready to rant about two people who got under my skin earlier today at work.
But I just realized that they're not the problem. They work hard, they mean well, and even though they could use some coaching on how to talk to cow-orkers, they're not bad people. I'm the one who needs to work on keeping the right perspective, not letting people bother me, and following my mantra. Is this what growing up and becoming an adult is about?
Dammit, I was all ready to sit here and pound out an angry post. Now I've got nothing.

Oh-just come out and say it-they're all just wankers,aren't they? ;).
Ha. Don't you hate it when maturity gets in the way of a good rant?
That is a good mantra, actually. Good luck holding to it.
Ok. That was awesome.
I've found that generally speaking people do the best with what they got. That doesn't mean that their intentions come across correctly and that they don't piss you off.
Good mantra.
Publish the rant.
Vent, don't hold it in. All you'll get by taking the so-called "high road" is cold & lack of air.
Seems like when I give people the benefit of the doubt, I get royally screwed. Not every time, but most of the time.
Ben Gay and itching powder. That's all I am going to say.
Ironic how a day apart we had the same rant going.
have put it on my blog tonight, but you mightn't visit for a while so have come here to tell that the new place is:
www.daggymusic.com

Damn. Teach me how to do that.
