Some things push my buttons and get me irritated quite quickly, and those are situations best handled by stepping back, clamly evaluating the situation and reacting appropriately. Sometimes I manage that, but nothing like as often as I would like.Thriftcriminalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067935732217300979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-1892054579080001112009-07-15T08:16:53.792+01:002009-07-15T08:16:53.792+01:00Baino - Well, it sounds like you must pay some att...Baino - Well, it sounds like you must pay some attention to detail in your jobs or you wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes!<br /><br />www - Ah yes, drumming fingers, sighing heavily, looking at watch, angry glares.
