I feel like I’m becoming more impatient as I grow older. Is it because of my job? Am I pressured to be more pro-active? To be hot headed? To not wait? Could work really change a person’s personality? I always had the idea that people don’t change, no matter what. Does this mean that I have always been impatient? Am I just realizing how impatient I can actually be?
I just got really impatient earlier today in class. As usual, Sunday, part-time MBA course, sitting at the back of the classroom, trying to pretend to be listening to the lecturer. Financial Management was the class that I’m in. Its like going back home after you have left for a few years. I majored in Finance and Banking for my bachelor’s degree so this was my comfort zone. Yet, I don’t feel comfortable taking this class. Right after being told the assignments required in order to pass the course, a flash of irritation hit me. I was irritated. Do I have to all this again? These assignments? For what? Am I not busy enough with work? With closing accounts? What made it worse was one of my colleagues, acting as if he knew better in Finance. He was not professionally trained in Finance but acted as if he knew everything. Maybe he did. But that just irritated me. I might have unintentionally lashed out by being sarcastic during the group meeting for the assignment.
I hate who I think I am or turning into. An impatient person…
