Sometime last week, when I spoke to my crush, he said to me that he loved everyone at work. He didn't use the word LOVE per se, he just said, he had nothing against anyone at work, that he likes everyone accordingly and cannot pinpoint anyone he has a problem with.

To tell you the truth I had been pondering those words ever since. Everytime someone at work crosses a line with me, or hits a nerve, I say to myself, "How can he say he loves everyone in here, does he have any idea how obnoxious A or B is? Geez? He musta been high or something when he said that." However, he did say that.

So today, after going through the usual petty grievances and squabbles with the usual pestering and "just want to break their neck" staff, I asked one of my co-workers if she loved everyone here.

I began by saying: "Do you like everyone in here, you know in that Hippie sorta way. Just like in the 70's when everyone wanted love to reign and that shit, do you feel that way about everyone? Let's have a group hug and love one another."

She answered first of all by disputing the era I had quoted correcting me that it was the 60's and not the 70's that the Hippies reigned, but to put it that way, yeah she does love everyone. She doesn't regard them enough to let their grievances or squabbles talk her into "hating" them.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by co-workers, is it time for a shrink? Do I have anger issues? Just because I don't see heart signs when I have my little squabbles with people but rather see daggers, does that make me a bad person?
