Anger Management
I could barely open my eyes for the Finals. I watched the first half, slept through second half and extra time, but I watched Zidane head-butt. Guess I have watched the highlights of the match.
.
I believe something must have provoked Zidane so much that he head-butted. People may say that he was rash, he could have just walked away, then he would be able to play in the match, and maybe France will get the CUP.
.
I understand how he felt. I dun hit, knock, slap or head butt anyone at work. But, when I get very angry/frustrated at work, I slam down the phone on my customers or suppliers. I was so angry once that I slammed the door of my workstation, threw the files on the floor and then I 'shivered' with anger and I started to breathe heavily. All my colleagues 'siam' me cos they knew it was the best solution - to let me vent my frustration and cool down. They look at me differently after that.
.
Just recently, I was so angry with my supplier, S, that I argued with her (well, she was in the wrong) and I even scolded her customer, C. I raised my voice at C for being irresponsible and I told him plainly that S was in the wrong and she shouldn't be talking to me in that tone. I felt quite bad about C after that. I regretted it. I am lucky that he didn't write in to complain about the awful experience. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Never realise that till I started working. I can be quite a B.I.T.C.H when I'm angry.
.
忍一时风平浪静,退一步海阔天空. Yes, I know. I have tried walking away whenever I was angry. However, it didn't feel as shiok as reasoning it out with suppliers/customers. That's why I think Zidane really needed to head butt then instead of walking away. I think I would have done the same if I were him.
.
Hmmm, this is bad. Yes, I think I need Anger Management.

You know what, I used to face the same issue a few years back...my manager even banned me from using 4-letters words (other than the infamous FxxK!, there are damn!, shit!, just to name a few)...haha...but this anger of yours may not be a bad thing,for your colleagues may think that you are a tough cookie, and are less likely to think they can walk all over you...then I realise I can be assertive without being aggressive, which tends to be more constructive. Or at least that is what I think:-P

Haha ... Well, my colleagues know I'm no tough cookie. I still get bullied by them ... sometimes. =p
Guess I better get some self help books before it gets serious. =p
