Should today's entry read snarl, hiss,snort, growl, howl, bark, spit, bray ....oops bray? No, the animalistic instincts have yet to overwhelm me, though the drawn line is getting very thin indeed.
I shall ask this rhetorically.
In all my years of being in this service, have I even been threatened before?
Today, someone said, "I want to beat you up."...not directly to my face though, but to a colleague who was trying to counsel another lost misguided soul. His cause of grievance towards me? - I had thwarted his every move to buy food from the canteen when it is not his time to do so.
Here is the dilemma. Now that I know, what should I do about it?
Kick up a big fuss, and stand up for my rights?
Or just ignore...and then hide behind pillars for fear that I will be pounced upon.
Sigh...
It's getting tough.
The mercury levels are rising...tempers are flaring, and blood pressure readings are shooting off the roof.
Need I be worried?
I worry more for the child ... who seemed to have lost his sense to rationalise. If each time he is unhappy with another person because his own needs are not met, and his desires are not fulfilled, then I cannot imagine the self-centred, wilful adult that he may turn into.
But just in case someone does beat me up to a pulp, do send me flowers and chocolates at the hospital ok?
