Understanding things intellectually and actually experiencing them are two different things. I understand anger is a step in dealing with having cancer. But dealing with that anger is altogether different.
I simmered all day at work. Seathing. Ready to hurt someone. The people that work with me don't deserve that. A team lead needs to keep his cool. I clearly did not keep mine today. I owe some good people apologies.
I lost my cool when the nurse tried to schedule my chemo for tomorrow. Umm, no. I need to save as much leave as I can for the 3-4 months I will need to recover from surgery. So a chemo schedule that maximizes my time out of the office just does not work.
I need to avoid the hulk smash mentality.
