Anger Management

It's very hard to get me angry. I consider myself to be a very patient, tolerant man who can deal with most unpleasant situations without getting into a rage. I get really angry, what, maybe only once every two years?

It takes a lot to make me snap but snap I did the other night when a co-worker I consider to be a friend, out of negligence and inconsideration, caused big problems with one of our major suppliers/advertisers. It's been a month and a half since the problem started -- the other night was only the final straw.

I tried to sleep on it but couldn't. Scenes of revenge and rage filled my head as I devised plots and schemes to inflict upn her the next day. Chew her out in front of everyone? Drag her to a room to scream at her privately? Get the whole team to gang up on her?

Being the "nice guy" that I am, however, I let my head cool off by not coming to work directly. I attended a press conference then a photo shoot before visiting the office. Still unsure how I'd react to her, I made it a point not to cross her path. Made sure, without talking to her, that the problem was being solved.

This afternoon, she dedma'd me. I went up to her and asked her a direct question and she dedma'd me. Siya pa yung galit. What the fuck is up with that? She's the one who screwed things up and now she's mad at me. If she can't be professional about this and continues to be a brat about the whole thing then she can just kiss my ass. I can be a very good friend but I can also be a terrible foe.

if i rarely get mad, how can i be a terrible foe? it's impersonal emotionally-antiseptic people like me who make fabulous enemies. we don't let emotions get in the way. i would make a great arch-villain.

Hmmm, you're right, villain is a wrong word. Nemesis is better, not necessary na evil ang nemesis.

Siya nga pala yung villain.
