Grumpy

No, not me. I am not grumpy. Not right now anyway.

But I encountered a grumpy person today. This person jumped down my throat because I asked a question. Now, mind you- it wasn't a sarcastic question, or rude. It was question asked to clarify something I was unclear about. I just asked, "is is A, or is it B?"

That was the crux of it. And the guy wrote back and retorted that he did not appreciate me suggesting that he was lax about getting back to people. Quite honestly, I didn't know what the hell he meant by that. I should add that he did answer my question right before his retort. But, where the hell he got that I was suggesting anything at all, let alone that he was lax, I have no clue.

And at first, I was going to let it go, but then I thought "here he is, the bloated head of a national organization, and he's jumping all over a nobody for asking a question, and on behalf of nobodies everywhere, I should respond."

It might be said that I have problem with authority. I particularly have a problem with authoritative figures who jump to conclusions and respond rudely to minions. Or people they perceive to be less than them. So, I responded. Because he made me grumpy. Because I figure it this way- people like that shouldn't just go through life getting away with acting like that.

So guess what, grumpy guy didn't respond. Ass.

So maybe I am grumpy now, because of him. But at least i am not an ass.
