Grr. Argh.

I am tired. I've needed more sleep than I've been getting for quite a while. And I was all ready to go get some sleep, when I just had to check my e-mail one more time...

I must work on getting to the point where one ignorant comment won't make me this furious. Okay, two ignorant comments, but from someone I should be used to hearing and seeing ignorant comments from by now.

Anger leading to more sleep-deprivation leading to an inability to deal well with the next irritation leading to more sleep-deprivation.

Gotta break this cycle, and soon.

Because as much as I like some kinds of crazy people, being an out-of-control raving lunatic is not one of my goals in life.




[Do I even have to say that the e-mail was not from anyone likely to be reading this, or do y'all realize that without my saying it?]

Even the people with the biggest clues mislay those clues sometimes. It's the intention that matters, and if the intention was benevolent, that's worth something. Just say to yourself, "That was not helpful (Zephyr)," and let it end.

I love letting stuff end. It reminds me how much control I have. Someone once defined power as being able to do something nasty to somebody and then not doing it. Was that from a movie? I forget. Anyway, I've discovered it's true. If you forgive somebody, there's not a damn thing they can do about it. You win.
