I know I may not be perfect...

...but I do own up to the words that come out of my mouth and know how to admit when I'm wrong.

Today, I acted like an obnoxious brat. It was 90% on purpose. Here's what went down.

There is nothing in the world I hate more than when someone lies to my face, when they know damn well I know that they're lying to me. As I've you should have gathered from my previous posts, "Asshole" has not been on my good side. Today at lunch with a bunch of interns, "Asshole" somehow got started talking politics. All bad news right there. Anyway, I don't remember what prompted it, but I pointed out his self-proclaimed "great idea" to have all gay people be forced to move to Cuba. I mention this outlandish idea to everyone and he then goes and DENIES ever having said anything like that. I was about the laugh the whole thing off, but that just stopped me in my tracks. Don't EVER lie to my face. If you you can't at least admit to having said the things you've said, then you shouldn't be saying them. Period. This pisses me off enough to keep drilling the point until the jerk fesses up or at least laughs it off, but instead he goes all cry baby and says to me "if you don't stop, I'm taking it to HR." Whoa, seems I hit a nerve. Well, alrighty then, seeing as how I've clearly gotten to him, I stopped. Later in the car, I point out he's obviously quite pissed at me and he calls me loud and unprofessional and claims I am a bad representative of my school, thereby taking it a whole new level of cry baby. Amazingly, I am a fool and I send him an instant message apologizing for being a cranky bitch (which I truly was, over stuff that had nothing to do with him today) and even offered to soothe his ego by sending an email to everyone who was there apologizing for being so loud and obnoxious but this was not enough for him. Apparently, in his mind, I have committed an egregious sin against the Lord Almighty or something.

Now, as I said in my intro to this story, I own my words and know how to admit my wrongdoings. I was wrong in being an obnoxious loud talker. I was wrong in twisting the knife. But I was NOT wrong in being furious at a lying son of a bitch.

To summarize the above: don't say anything or express opinions you don't ever want repeated to others. And don't piss off Janet. I don't have anything to hide so if you do, then maybe you need to stay away from me.
