while working, one resident asked me if I considered myself to be a trustworthy person. I thought about it and gave him an honest "maybe, for the most part, I can trust myself." he was quiet for a bit, and asked if I thought he was a trustworthy person. Since I really didn't know him that well, I told him that as far as I knew he was trustworthy, he used to be a doctor after all.
he said he would disagree. He said that because he can be kind if a control freak and doesn't want to give up, he can cause a lot of trouble because of that. Sometimes it gets in the way, and sometimes it causes frustration in the people around him.
I continued to be honest with him and told him what I thought. Just because he can be some what of a control freak, doesn't mean he is untrustworthy. In some ways, being a controlling person is a double edged sword, how if you're a good leader, things will go your way, and in some ways, it means people can rely on you to get things done. And the downside is how people will often be frustrated with you. Among other things. . .
I really enjoyed talking with him, and I hope my words made him feel better.
in other news, last night one of the other dogs who frequent my work, the one that belongs to the maintenance guy, well, I was told that she was hit by a car last night and died. I feel so bad for everyone who knew the dog.
the scary thing is, just the other day I was petting her and saying how sweet she was.
tonight, I'm going to snuggle my cats extra close.
