This post was so very timely for me. In the past week, I've been somewhat out of line w/2 of my coworkers on separate occasions. On each occasion, I've promptly and sincerely apologized and then fretted and stewed and beat myself up for not being perfect.
Hey, I've been working a ton of hours, I am getting NO support from my boss, those coworkers, in all honesty, DO lean on me a LOT, and I'm just tired and stressed.
Does that mean I'm justified in my actions? Well, no, but it DOES mean I'm human, I reached my limit, and I reacted badly. And that's going to happen from time to time. And that's OK.
I pick myself, dust myself off, apologize to those I offended, and I press on, trying my best. That's all any of us can do, right?
Higher Power, help me to remember this about myself as well as about everyone around me!!
