How Are You Feeling?

I feel bad about neglecting DGN the last few days... school has already tried to take over my life it seems! >.< And I'm only on day two.

Plus I also feel sore and sad. Cowboy day leaves Friday for 5 weeks and Ill be all alone a lot of time now that Ethan's at Daycare and gone on the weekends.

I'm also feeling very unsure about my school situation lately...

You can always hang with us on weekends if school allows. And hang in there. It's better to be lost and confused with a degree than without one. I know. I'm lost and confused without one and I STILL have a buttload of loans to pay off.

Stressed, but calm. Pretty stoked that I diffused a hostile confrontation with a co-worker with the power of zen. I tried to make peace at first, saying that we work together, there is no real reason for us to be in conflict and that there's no reason we have to be dicks to each other forever over some petty nothingness, but the guy wasn't having it. So I stayed calm and made it clear that I was not at all afraid of him and said he should not get so angry about things so terribly trivial. He backed away and let it drop but kept the attitude. Later, when I was leaving I said to my other c0-worker with a smile "see ya later man! have a good night!" then turned to the guy with the problem and told him firmly but not venemously that he could go fuck himself. Later the guy called me up and decided to accept my truce saying he wasn't apologizing for things he said and wasn't asking for an apology, but that I was right and he didn't was us to have problems at work. So we agreed to pretend that nothing ever happened. I gained a lot of respect for the guy. But I think that things could have gone far worse had I not both kept my cool and asserted myself confidently. Just to clarify, this wasn't anything that was going to be a physical confrontation (I don't think...) but it was unnerving and brought up the old adrenaline. Strangely though, as the conflict continued, I found myself becoming more calm as he was getting more angry. When I reflected on the events later, I thought about the symbolism of the bow we use in kung fu. Left hand is open and covering the right hand to symbolize that peace is the first thing I offer. The left covers the right hand which is closed into a fist to symbolize that if peace is not accepted, then I offer war. I offered the guy peace, he didnt want it, so I offered him war. He didn't want that either, so he thought about things and later decided peace was a good choice.

A little long-winded I know, but I was really surprised with myself for unconsiously using my martial arts practice to end a conflict peacefully.
