I check my email every morning before going to work. I don't check my work email (usually), but I always check my personal email because sometimes it's the only time I get to check it. Normally there isn't anything too important in there so I never worry that I'm going to be upset the rest of the day due to the content of my in-box.

Today was different. I was so pissed off by an email I got that my stomach turned itself into a knot and I could feel my shoulders getting tense. I quickly forwarded it to another friend of mine and then spent about 30 minutes drafting responses. I think I wrote about 10 drafts that I erased because I tend to run off at the mouth when I'm really mad, so I decided to go to work without responding at all.

I've thought about it on and off all day, but I still haven't come to any conclusions about what I want to say. Basically I could write a one line response and never hear from this person again, but I don't want to 'bite my nose to spite my face', nor do I want to trash something that I've been a part of for a long time. However; I am pissed off at what was said and how it was said, and the worst part about it is that it's normal behavior from this person.

I guess the question is: Do I want to hang on and continue to be a part of this, or should I step away?

Blah.
