I am trying to resolve an issue here at work and this “person” ( I use the word loosely), continues to skate around the issue and talk down to me as if I don’t know what I am talking about. Don’t you love that? I know perfectly well what I am talking about and am “in the know” quite often and if I don’t have a clue what I am talking about I surely would not advertise it.

So we had a little, verbal altercation.. yeah, that’s what it was. I am not a “sit and bite my tongue” kind of gal. Those that know me will firmly agree. People that resort to talking down to people usually have a very low self esteem and that is what I believe in this case. I like to tilt my head from side to side while this other person is talking, to mimic the UTTER confusion that MUST be going through my mind as I am simply not bright enough to comprehend what is being said to me. Then, when least expected, I go off. I mean, OFF.

Now I am all crabby and that is what bothers me the most. I think a trip to REI is in order. For some reason that store always puts me in a good mood. I think it is the anticipation or expectation of going somewhere..anywhere to get away from this place. All the backpacks, the hiking maps.. makes me want to drop whatever I am doing and go on a walkabout.

One hour later..

Okay..so I went to REI and bought a new SIGG water bottle. You know.. “Go Green!”. Sometimes a small purchase perks you up. I feel perky now.
