Stardate: Friday, January 25, 2002

You know that saying about the traits that you hate most about others being the most prevalent in yourself? Well, I certainly to believe it. Especially after today.

Things have been boilng to a head between myself and one of the producers that I work with. He's a nice guy, for the most part, but I always feel like he is lecturing me, and now I know why. He's verbose. No, he's not just verbose, he's VERY VERBOSE. As anyone who may or may not be reading this may have noticed, I am a verbose person as well. The difference is that my verbosity just barely pushes the limits of people's tolerance for verbosity. He, on the other hand, well surpasses me.

That and he is a superperfectionist. In a way that I could never be. I like things my way, but am certainly willing to consider other options and take the path of REASONABLE resistance depending on situational considerations (VERBOSITY in action.) He, on the other hand, will want it his way no matter what. If, when he sees it, it is not good, it must be your fault for not doing it right, so now we must try something different. It's really hard to put into words, I suppose.

The fact of the matter is this: Being a human being (or at least living with them) I recognize my own faults and am tolerant with those of others. To a point. I am just about out of my tolerance for today and am just really glad that it is almost over. Soon I will get to go home from my 12 hour work day (only on Fridays) and forget about the whole mess for two solid days straight. Wow. What a concept. Home never looked so good. And when you are stressed out and tired, a cold can of Coca-Cola never tasted so good.
