according my brother’s best friend growing up. He was 6 years old and he was right. Virtue and Virgin – nearly the same word. Common mistake.
I am not very virtuous if patience is a virtue. I ran out of patience this morning. The wheels came off and it felt like the ultimate loss of control. Grr.
Children require patience, parents require patience, medical students and residents require patience and co-workers require patience. I am out of patience and I am sure I require patience on the part of others. I need to re-fuel.
I entered my job this week with a zeal for interpersonal interaction and general amiability and I’ve been spit out cantankerous and ornery!
Perhaps because I realized, as I sat down to stuff food into my face last night at 6:15 with my hair still wet, having squeezed in a 30 minute run with 15 minutes to spare before going to work, that I need to be in my apartment. I need one day to myself, to not see anyone.
Too many people and too much given. I have agita!!
