It’s been so long since I lost my patience with someone that it caught me completely by surprise. The worst part was the friend was a very nice person! This poor woman was trying to give me directions, and I just snapped at her.
Having cultivated very crammed schedule week after week, perhaps I was thrown off by the embarrassment of running behind. Still, this incident made me realize that I have to do something about the stress of work. This is only month 3, and who knows how many more to go?
The incident was upsetting b/c my dark side came out of no where. It was a good thing though because there is nothing quite like the loss of control that reminds me just how little control I really have or need to have over life.
