But what? Identified with Dith's article about suppressed anger - experienced a vivid demonstration last week-end - that if you bottle up anger for long enough, when it emerges it will do so spectacularly. But can I really say sorry - implied in 'sorry' is 'it won't happen again' - but if I really wasn't in control, how can I 'hand on heart' say that 'it won't happen again' - particularly since this was, at the very least, the second time that it has happened.
My boss kindly came into the office to-day to ask if I was under stress - he had deduced from some comments I made the day before at the team meeting that I might have been experiencing undue levels of stress - but I can't expect my job to be entirely stress-free - though, as my manager observed, it isn't right to expect people to cope with things that they shouldn't have to cope with - but how do you decide - how do you work out - this is an acceptable challenge - that just isn't acceptable - the 'in' word is 'unacceptable'.
