Operation Be Less of a Bitch
I'm kind of a bitch. Most of the time it's in a way that people find kind of amusing, because really what it translates to is me being rather snarky and quick with a biting observation. But lately I've been thinking I need to do something about that. Not that I need to alter my sense of humor drastically (because is that even possible? Really...) but that there are certain things that just seem to create a reaction in me that is really, really rage-y. Stabby, if you will. It's my newest favorite adjective.
Specifically, there are a few people who, to some degree by no fault of their own, just irritate the shit out of me lately. it's not that it didn't START with something they did- it sure as hell did- but now my default emotion toward them is annoyance/disdain, no matter what. It's a bad habit and one I need to ditch, pronto. The obvious reason for that is that as much as I think I'm doing a good job of being civil and pleasant, it's probably noticeable that I'm not totally happy. And the secondary reason is, it's no good for me, either. It's too much work to be pissed.
So, call it an early New Year's resolution if you will...I'm gonna be nicer. More pleasant. Less negative. Well, I'm sure as hell gonna try. Any suggestions? I need all the help I can get.
