Finding a little humor in the put downs


Last night I made the mistake of answering ASO's phone call, somehow I thought it would be him calling to be nice or something...well he called to puke up all his misery on me and blameshift. I have not been reacting as I once did except the little setback a few days ago. He ended up telling me that obviously the English language was not my native tongue then I just hung up knowing that the conversation wasn't going to get better. So, today I am doing some reflecting and the crazy stuff they say sometimes has some humor in it. Apparently I don't speak blame it all on me well enough..I was able to use Jerrys visualization about the wire flippers though and just keep going. . he is even mad at that now. Lol.

Thanks. I meant the wire clippers not flippers that Jerry suggested, visualizing clipping the wires to the buttons they normally push to get a reaction. I am just taking it in stride today and laughing at the me not speaking English part because its just so absurd its funny.
