NOT a shining moment

Have you ever had one of those days where you set out to run a simple errand that should take about 5 minutes with no problems whatsoever, and then suddenly and surprisingly everything goes haywire?

I was expecting a quick, easy, non-confrontational interaction, and then in an instant, things took a turn for the worse and I was hearing myself say things that don't normally come out of my mouth! It's like I was having an out of body experience, whatever that is, and I'm asking myself, "who are you, and what happened to the sweet, kind me that I usually am"?

Naturally people don't want to admit they're wrong. And in this case, honestly I was right, and almost all parties involved eventually agreed. But I can think of a better way I could have, and should have handled the situation. I received an apology from one of the people, but not the worst offender. But that doesn't even matter at this point. I think what bothers me the most is that it was so out of character for me.

Wish I could go back and redo it. Take back a couple of the things I said. That stuff just hangs heavy in the pit of my stomach. I've gone over and over the whole situation and conversation all day long. I just want it to disappear from my memory.

Hmm, now let me see... if I want to completely forget about it, then why am I writing it down here to live forever in my online journal? Interesting.
