Hurt

I have a ton of stuff I was thinking about writing lately, from the subject of my selling my car yesterday (*cries a little inside*) to this neat correlation between contemporary sales techniques and evangelism. Also Caleb is tossing my resume in at his work, which is really nice and worth mentioning. And Boston Scientific just had a hiring freeze, so after that is over my resume will come up for jobs there as well.

But alas, I’m now feeling very down and hurt by an arguement my wife and I had last night, and don’t really feel like writing about much.

Other than to say a few things about me, so people know.

1. I have this weird thing w/ people respecting me. And if I feel like you aren’t respecting me I get pretty pissed. This usually means completely ignoring me or not considering what I’m saying, or messing with my stuff w/o asking me. I don’t know why those particular things bug me, but they do. You have been warned.

2. Don’t ever lie to me. I’m not as honest as my Father, who prides himself on being honest, so I’m a little hypocritical when I get mad about this. But usually my weapon of manipulation is twisting or omitting which is not exactly what I’m talking about. Both are lesser forms of lying, so I’m not perfect, but those I can tollerate from others. Lying I can’t. If I ask you something and you say X and the truth is 100% not X. When I find out I’m going to bust a screw loose.

3. When I do lose it on you if you do those things, you will experience one of two things. Screaming / yelling, or near silence. You should actually want to hear screaming cuz that means I’m apt for engaging in the process of reparing whatever is going on around you. And given that conflict is a thing I tend to look for because I see it as the best way of breaking stupid barriers, if I go silent on you that is bad.

Also, the other day my website broke and I’m not sure why. Kinda sux, but at least I am writing here when I was going to friends lock my post anyway.

Maybe I’ll get back to writing about those other things in a couple of days. The sales seminar I went to was actually pretty interesting, and made me think a lot of the Irresistable Evangelism book I read a while back.
