I think congratulations may be in order…
Kasia June 10th, 2009
…I recently had the opportunity to completely savage someone, and I chose not to.
The circumstances made it sorely tempting – I had such devastating ammunition, after all – but with a moderate amount of self-restraint and, more importantly, a short trip to the Adoration chapel…I responded mildly, coolly, logically, and with a shot that I think was aimed dead at the heart of the issue, rather than a personal attack.
I just may have a slight tic for a few days, and a bloody tongue, while I work the ammunition out of my system.
That is all. Carry on.
Hooray for you! You did good–that was so Christ-like–your going to be a saint before you know it!!! And if you get a tic–you can just offer it up
/cheer
ROFL Tara – you are thinking like a saint yourself!
Yay! Kasia, if you keep it up, you’ll be in the running for patron saint of People Tormented by Co-Workers, Relatives, and Nosyparkers. Your symbols could be the bitten-off tongue and bared, gritted teeth.
Tara has the right idea – that must be good for a few days off for a soul in purgatory.
