ew, tough situation. in the past i have confronted and taken action (i'm a recovering hothead). it is hard for me to let things slide and keep on letting them slide. inside i burn up, and tend to be very direct in order to try to work through things.

presently, i'm trying to cool out and "walk away". i try to think ahead, "will i care about this in next month, next year, etc?" and try to decide how important something is based on that.

what i have to do is say to myself, "go to my second thought". my first thought might be one of anger or frustration. my second thought might be much more rational.

so my best advice is: go to your second thought and see where that takes you. if you still want to beat some ass, then...beat some ass! (figuratevly, of course. which i probably didn't even have to say i guess)

(
good luck!
