The Ogre in me

I have been in a nasty mood this past weekend. I took out my frustration and anger on people around me. In an effort to stay away from everyone, I tried cleaning out closets and drawers; threw away whole bunch of stuff, but I still bristled. I cleaned bathrooms, yet the raging bull inside me was dying to get out. I need to get a handle on my emotions. I need to say what’s on my mind even if it would mean confrontations that I try to avoid. By avoiding confrontations, I am creating conflicts. Not a win-win situation.

Sometimes I am really mean to people. This morning, someone called our home phone. When I answered the phone, the person on the other side of the line just hung up without a word. I figured he/she realized that it was not the correct number. Before I could turn away from the phone, it rang again. I saw from the caller ID that it was the same person calling back. Again I answered the phone and promptly I heard a click. That just pissed me off so much that I called the number back. A guy answered with an awkward “Hi”. I asked him if he had called my number. He said “Yes, but I think I got the number wrong.” I was so annoyed that I told him, not in a pleasant tone I assure you, that next time he calls a wrong number early in the morning; he should at least have the decency to apologize before hanging up. With that, I hung up the phone on him. Do I have anger management issues?? Or was my reaction justifiable?
