Being a good example.
Posted: August 2, 2010 Filed under: home, work 3 Comments »I slammed my door today. The door to my office.
I was frustrated. My computer was acting up. Andrew and the boys were having fun in the living room. Playing a game. Music blaring. I couldn’t concentrate. I was pissed that I wasn’t having fun and they were. I had work to do. I was behind. With no end in sight.
I called out for them to turn the music down.
No response.
I tried again and again.
And I slammed the office door.
Was it mature? A good example?
No.
But it sure felt good.
wait, did they even know you were mad or even hear you slam the door?
Wait, you HAVE A DOOR TO SLAM!!! I love your house!!!!!
Did it work? For you, that is. When I do this (okay, well for me it’s kinda like a tree falling the forest but that’s another story), I feel good for a moment. And then not.
