I spent much of my Monday in a bad mood. Must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed – I was cranky all day. And pretty much every email or phone call I got just ticked me off more. I couldn’t even enjoy my swim – I got dizzy at the end and had to stop and rest. I got home, spent most of the evening cranky and went to bed cranky.

So, I get into work with a resolve to have a better attitude and I check my voice-mail. I had one message – from 5:30 the evening before – asking for help with a project that needed to be done that night.
Really.
Now, I’m pretty much used to the “last minute” on projects – it’s kinda the way things go. But this one really took the cake. I called them this morning and they had worked around the system and gotten whatever Incredibly! Important! Thing! done that they needed to get done.
So, I actually had people contributing to my bad mood when I wasn’t even here. A sort of time delay annoyance.
