Man, I HATE those phone calls. Its hilarious though because what you described is what I did as well: procrastinated for about an hour, wrote down key thoughts and then called. Only, I got that person's voicemail and had to do it all over again later that evening! I've found, for me, the anticipation of the call is far worse than the call itself!

We do know that you do need to listen to Jen. (That's my disclaimer so that she doesn't kick my butt. Wait, I'm deployed the next six months or so...hmmm).

I'm glad you were able to nip everything in the bud with your confrontation. Usually if it's approached with thought, and calmness, everything turns out very well. That's a quality that most Military Leaders overlook. Most say that it is the Military, etc. Personally, I think there is no excuse, unless all other means have been exhausted. God knows I've been there, done that, been wrong, and moved on.

Sorry your buttons got pushed. Once again, it's one of those things where it has to be approached calmly (as much as one can), address it, and move on. If you really have to, go out side and scream and kick something. God also knows I'm WAY guilty of that. LOL, wait, so do you! I'm sure that door is fine...Anyway, key is, stay calm! Thankfully I have a forgiving and understanding wife as well. I think that's why our wives get along so well!
