A World Dominated by Idiots: The Survival Guide

Over the past few years I've come to realise that self control is not exactly my strong suit.. I can fly off the handle at the drop of a hat - a bad driver, an inconsiderate youth, sexism. All have me ranting and stewing for hours. Unfortunately for me, self control is something that is essential in my current and future lines of work

All it would take is a single misplaced comment or word and I could land myself a good sock in the kisser from a pissed off patient

So when I got my payslip today from my current employer and found out that I have been grossly underpaid, instead of flipping out I actually exercised some self control and let it go (once I'd pointed out the error of course). I feel a sense of calm and collectedness which I'm finding quite nice. I'm determined to prove to everyone that I can be reasonable.

After all, I don't want to turn up to work with a black eye again...
