That's a 180.

Man. It's amazing how can start the day thinking "Man! Fuck all you people!" And end the day thinking: "Man! Fuck all you people!"

Wait. That's not it.

Rather, it's amazing how you can start angry, worried, and spending too much energy on not-very-important crap, and end the day relatively... dare I say... serene. Thank goodness I get good advice from smart people.

A dangerous point for me is when someone is provably incorrect from an ethical and moral standpoint. What I want to do is, in my family's style, brand them as evil and figuratively knock the crap out of them. Instead, though, I took appropriate action, behaved with civility, and it turned out that the big jackass did the right thing.

Now, if only I can resist calling people "Big Jackass."
