Been watching a not Naruto on the Cartoon Network lately. Liking it quite a bit. Not sure why, cause I am not usually into anime. It has a good story, interesting characters, and decent translation from Japanese. I may have to check out some more anime in my future.

Posted in Uncategorized with tags Office Politics, Work on February 24, 2008 by javacodemonkeyThere are a few words, sayings, or phrases, that once said, can’t be taken back. I love you, I hate you, and are you stupid, are just a few of the ones I am thinking of right now. Whether you say these words exactly, or somehow show people that that is what you mean, once they are out there, they can’t be taken back.
Earlier today, I expressed my venom at a coworker, and while I never said that I thought she was stupid, I certainly expressed through other words and actions. I am not sure what is worse, that fact that I did this, or the fact that it took me half of the day to realize that I had. I now have in some way damaged a relationship with one of the few coworkers that I honestly always enjoyed working with. While I absolutely meant what I said, I expressed it in a extremely horrible way. I took out the venom that had built up within me and attacked her, even though the situation that had caused me to be angry, was in no way in her control.
The path before me is clear. I must apologize. It will be uncomfortable, but maybe, just maybe, I can repair the mistake that I have made.
Hopefully I can learn from my mistakes. Think before I speak. Count to ten. Do whatever it takes to never let this happen again.
