I hit a new personal low today.
I said "F* you" to a coworker. Nice.
(Sigh)
Sometimes you think you're so mature, and then you crash face first into a 2x4 of "yep, turns out I AM capable of that." I think this is the second time in my life I've ever said this word-sequence to someone with whom I do not share a last name. (First time probably occured on the high school soccer field. Sorry, Coach Rose.)
I immediately felt terrible and heavy laden with the burden of "needing to apologize." I followed him outside and with quick, feverish words made things right. Also, I ate some crow. After my confession and apology he said, "What?" *laughter* "I didn't even hear you say that." To which I painfully and red-faced recounted the scenario then replied, "Well I said it. Now you can be annoyed with me and move on."
Thankfully, I work mostly with college students in their early twenties. This makes it a lot easier to recover from dropping an F Bomb on someone. Meanwhile, maybe I need to have a quiet time? Oy vey. Thirty-one and miles from being a grown up.
