“The road to perdition is paved with good intentions, bad judgement and terrible outcomes!” And that pretty much sums up what happened. It was a comedy of errors last evening. I saw myself going off in one direction trying to defend someone but the more I spoke, the worse it got. I tried to back-paddle but it only got worse.
Goes to show I am not as good at managing people as I thought. But goodness, I have dealt with so many varied personalities and characters in the last 4 years of my life that I should have been better able to handle any situations than how I did yesterday. Without getting into details, suffice to say I have put my foot in my mouth without having any thoughts going through that pea brain of mine. And I thought that I am maturing in the way I handle people. I reckon I have to go back to Managing People 101. Next time I should stop and think before I speak.
It was a long night of self castigation. And it doesn’t look any better in the bright light of day.
