Poisoned Pineapples IV

So today at work is a bit dull. I am doing everything, but working on the assignment at hand. I don’t understand why Friday evening has refused to get here already. I know there a zillion of us out there who just want out of the cubicle. I need to let my hair down, let the breeze in my face and take a deep breath. My clock just sits there taunting me. I need to play a mind game to get me through the remaining six hours. And then it will be two blissful days of NO TARGETS, NO DEADLINES and NO CRITICIZING. I’ll be tension free.

Tension…hmmmn. That is a word I want to hit at for a minute or two, that is assuming you have the time to hear me yap about it. I talk too much right? That is a given, so deal with it!

Back to our topic, I remember reading a random write-up that describes Tension as the application of force to something that tends to stretch it. I’d like to add a little something to that description. “…that tends to stretch it and then SNAP!!!!”I guess this happens in a lot of relationships be it children to parents, amongst siblings, spouses, partners and co-workers.  Truth be told, tension can arise from anything. I think the problem is in making sure you deal with it as opposed to letting it grow and then SNAP! The rest is history.

Being human beings, we are all inter-dependent, meaning it is impossible to survive all alone by ourselves. We need each other to survive and when we get the opportunity to live together, each person eventually learns the likes and dislikes of the other. What makes one tick and what put them off. So in order to foster positive energy and eliminate tension, it will be wise to gravitate towards what will make the other party happy.

Now I am not encouraging being a wimp and taking any silly behavior, I am just saying everyone has an on and off switch. Your job is to know the appropriate time to switch it on or off, else you are going to be eaten them poisoned pineapples for a while.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I wish someone would take their fingers off my hot button. Once I step into the building, it is like someone is just waiting to tamper with it. I know am not the best person to cohabitate with, but I need some space to breath. I am getting to the point where I just want to SNAP!

I am emotionally drained! Friday evening come quick. I need revitalization.
