Losing Patience
You ever have that one person in the cast you just can’t stand? I know we have all been there. I am going to talk about it.
In most cases, the person I dislike is bad-intentioned. Those people who bring down others to make themselves feel better. Yeah, I am not a fan of those people. I never feel bad about my lack of patience with their bad attitude and fake behavior. Luckily, I have only met a handful of these people while I have been in the business.
Then, there are those performers I cannot stand who have a lot of good intentions. I just can’t stand them. In some cases, it can get so bad where I cannot handle the sound of a person’s voice. Admitting this makes me feel awful because it only makes me the asshole. … but it is how I feel sometimes. What do I do when a personality does not work for me? I stay away from that person as much as possible. I avoid the person like the plague. I still need to learn how to stop talking about the person over and over with friends. Even though they understand my frustration, my complaints can quickly get old. … and the poor person who simply annoys me in every way - he or she doesn’t deserve my negativity.
It is so hard to be a great co-worker when my patience gets lost. I need to work on that.
