I don’t usually make New Years Resolutions but I made two this year. One, I think I’ve already mentioned — if I walk into work and someone is sick, I’m turning around and walking out.
The second is more of a revelation than resolution. After all these years, I finally got it, I mean, I really get it, right down to my core,
people are assholes.
They always have been and they always will be, it’s probably just the nature of being a person. I’m going into this new year expecting that; I’m not going to be shocked or disappointed when they act like assholes. I used to be disgusted but now I’m going to try to be amused.
My new goal is for my focus to be on the times when people aren’t being assholes. I want to be surprised and delighted by those moments. I want to catch them all.
