Anyone that knows me knows that I don’t get mad at people.  People hurt me, not make me mad.  That is just the way it is.  So yeah I can count the number of times I have been really mad, just mad with no hurt mixed in, at a person in the last fifteen years.  The strange thing is both times I have almost instantly been able to continue interacting with said people.

The first time was back when I worked at the Stove in Cookeville.  I am sure if you ever read my modBlog you know about it already.  Anyway I was on one side of a machine that sometimes got stopped up and had to reach my arm up inside of it to make it work again.  Well one of the times I was doing this the guy running the thing thought I was taking to long and turned the thing back on while my hand was inside.  I did not get hurt, but I got so mad that he would do something like that.  I yelled at this guy.  I mean really yelled, not the pitiful excuse for yelling that I normally do.  I think that is the maddest I have ever been in my life.  The guy that worked next to me did not talk to me for the rest of the day cause I scared him.  The next day I tell the guy good morning and go on like nothing ever happen.

Today I was in the bosses cube and we were looking at something that could be a problem.  He decided that it was this one thing.  I started to suggest that he look at something else to make sure and he cut me off in a harsh tone.  It made me mad.  I have gotten better at handling being mad cause this time I did not yell.  I just stood there looking pretty calm.  I waited about five minutes before I was finally calm enough to tell him what I tried to before.  Turns out that we did not need to do what he thought we did and that was in part thanks to the thing that I had pointed out.

So that is my two times at being truly mad at people in the last fifteen years.  I guess normally I get hurt more than anything when something happens to me.  I am glad I am not at all an angry person and can go thought life without being pissed off at everyone.  I guess the downside is I pretty much always blame things on myself.

OH!  I have a new poll up!  Everyone should go vote.  This one is hard for me because I can’t vote on it without giving away the correct answer.  I will give the answer after awhile, unless of course I don’t have enough votes, in that case I will just tell the person who has voted.

This is a pretty long post.  Kind of crazy.  Did anyone make it to the end?
