Here recently it seems like everything just gets under my skin so quickly and easily. It’s not that I get mad and take it out on others, it’s just the fact that I’m constantly annoyed and stressed. Something as simple as the dogs tracking some mud through the house will just ruin my mood. I know some people who would just laugh it off and clean it up. Meanwhile I’ll get pissed that I didn’t wipe their feet and be mad the entire time I’m cleaning it up. This has nothing to do with the dogs, it just an example. Any number of seemingly insignificant things can trigger me like that. Like forgetting something at the store and having to go back. I would love to be able to go, “well that sucks” and just get over it.

    It took me a lot of practice. I used to get mad at everything too. Almost violently so (hence the username “fury”). I realized over time I don’t want to spend that much effort being mad at anything. It’s not worth it. I’m going grey fast enough as it is without willingly adding to it. I’d rather focus my energy on something more enjoyable.

    Except Bing Chat. Bing Chat can go take a long walk off a short pier, and I wish everybody who worked on Bing Chat a very “good heavens what were you thinking”. Give me back my regular search results, thank you very much.

        At first, because Microsoft bribed me with reward points for using it. Then I came to realize Bing wasn’t all that bad. Until about a year ago when they started pushing the chat stuff.
