Stressful situations

I have under a lot of stress lately at work. This is not uncommon in my environment. Being under stress doesn't bother me, but how I reacted to it did bother me. I found myself snapping at my coworker more than usual today. I realized my bad attitude and adjusted it rather quickly. I am just upset that it slipped out in the first place.

I have worked really hard to not let things like this affect my attitude. I thought that I had it under control, but it slipped out today. My pride got the better of me today. I did not like not knowing the answer to a problem and my coworker found a solution to the problem. Why did that bother me so much? It's impossible for me to know everything. In fact, he is just as knowledgeable in computers as me.

But it bothered me... really bad. I had to step back several times and re-think my behavior. We are both under a lot of pressure lately and I can imagine it will only get worse in the next few weeks during this adjustment period. I think I will have to seriously look at myself more closely. It's time for a behavior analysis.
