Ever have one of those days where you just feel irritable and grouchy, and you know you're being snippy and you don't like it, but you just can't seem to stop the word vomit?

I'm having one of those days.

Fortunately I'm blessed with the gift of thinking through everything I say before I say it, regardless of whether or not I'm short-tempered (or that it's a wise thing to say in the first place), so I don't necessarily regret anything.

The most frustrating thing is that I really hate the fact that I just can't seem to let an issue drop. I KNOW I should let it drop, it's not a big deal...but I push and push to the point where there ends up being a big "discussion" about communication problems....which I never really wanted to have.

And now it just feels like things are beyond repair. Or rather, I feel whiny.

I hate feeling whiny. Which makes me whinier. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm not normally a homicidal person, but I'm feeling just a tad stabby today.

*giggles*

It's back to blue.

You know, sometimes it's gratifying to get your way...

...but it's not so gratifying to get your way when you know people are just bending to your will so you'll shut up already.

Or maybe that's gratifying too, I haven't decided. Either way, I seem to have serious mental issues built up around getting my way. I'm not entirely comfortable with it.

Meh *shrugs* Just take it and be gratified. I already confirmed you were right to begin with . . . so, really - it's not so much about getting your way, but rather the right way . . . *grins*

Seriously, you know we're both psychotic perfectionists. We just . . . manage . . . our issues differently . . .

I'd write an entry...

But it looks like we've had the exact same day today. It's all about the people I love to hate. All my "discussions" today had the same theme: I need you to agree. Now that you agree, I need you to know why you were wrong, and why it's important for me to know why you know why you were wrong. Nothing could get resolved until each of those criteria had been met according to my standards. Maybe not the most productive way to get the job done, but today, it was the ONLY way. I uttered the phrase "No, I don't think you understand", waayyy too many times today. Sheesh

Years. Yup. It's been one of those years.

I'm SO no the only person I know in SERIOUS need of a vacation.

We all have those days ......

On days like that - its an achievement when you stop short of killing the dumb people.
