work is overrated

yeah, the boys are stupid is for peter.

actually - edgar and i had a really great talk. we both have completely opposite ways of dealing with anger. when something bothers him, he tells you immediately and in no uncertain terms that he's mad. i internalize and allow little annoyances to build up until something finally makes me pop and i rant for an hour about things that happened a while before and he never knew bothered me. sure, not the best - but i think he gets mad too easily and he things i don't get mad enough. so - we started out talking about that. then that lead into a time that i really annoyed him and we talked about it and actually resolved it and then i was trying to make an example of a similar time in which the situation was reversed which lead me into one of his habits that annoys me. when people call him, he always checks the phone and for the most part answers it, almost regardless of what we are doing and then walks into the another room to talk. usually, i can figure out who is on the phone - but something about the whole way he does always bugs me. so - i decided that its like a feeling of being left out of the loop. the resolution is that he just tells me who it is that he deems worthy enough to interrupt our time to talk to them - without me having to listen in and guess. its little, but i think it will help :)
