I know that I'm quite short tempered and have no patience for the absurdities of life. So I wasn't suprised when my mother, quietly suggested I get my temper under control or else, point blankly, I would die of heart attack. Okay, she can be overly dramatic, but deep down I knew she was right.
I'm not a bad person, infact I have great traits about me. I'm loyal and dependable, open and easy to talk to, emotionally intellegent and honest to the core. But like any other human being I do have a few quirks. I have very high expectantces, even from the one tooth lady at the till. I thrive on order and discipline, I'm the lady at the Home Affairs queue who can bearly pull a smile at the toddler trying to entertain the weary adults. I've had frequent urges to drive over my neighbours' dogs.
I went for a check up a month back and my docter said my blood press is too high, he was worried because I'm young and healthy with no presence of the disease in my family history. He told me I need to learn ways to calm down when I find myself in compromising situations. So I took his advice and even went a step further.
Just last week I drank my coffee cold because I thought that asking for the manager would be viewed as throwing a tantrum. I let a security guard rond-vok me because I really wanted to respect his authority. None of the things that use to make my arteries want to pop affect me anymore, cause frankly I am not willing to attract an terminal illnesses due to a simple character flaw.
So, now my sister gave me a great idea. I carry a bag of suckers in my handbag and for everyone who tries to draw out the bitch in hiding, I hand them a sucker. I think everyone deserves to be happy and if I'm the one to do it, fantastic!
Even if i never invent a contraption that has the potential to change the world, atleast I was in the fight to diminsh the number of grumpy bitchs that affect society. And how are you making the world a better place?
