ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLITY

Yes, I put a hole in the wall. And yes, I am being "punished" for it. Hopefully everything will be all better by Monday. This weekend, I will be repairing the wall with help from some co-workers who will supervise. It seemed like the better option than paying someone to come in and repair, at least financially speaking -- I'm not gonna spend a whole paycheck for a contractor to do work I could do in a weekend. Hopefully all will turn out well.

In hindsight, maybe kicking a wall and punching file cabinets isn't the best way to show anger or frustration at the workplace. Sure, we're under a lot of pressure, but I need to learn how to control the old emotions better. Breaking stuff is not a very good example for the people I'm allegedly supposed to supervise -- after all I am the Asst. Sports Editor here. But if you were faced with the same situation, maybe you would have done the same.

Oh well, off to Home Depot to buy my materials...
