I'm so angry. I've been made to come in contact with one of my triggers and I almost feel used.

Here is the deal. We are currently building a house and have been waiting for the gas company to come hook us up. We can't move any further in construction until we have heat because the next step is taping the drywall and for that you need the heat. It started out pretty benignly. They didn't get a copy of our contract. We had to fax and fax and fax and they finally received it. Then nothing. I've been on the phone having to scare the crap out of people in order to get the ball rolling and get our gas hooked up ASAP. I was sick of the niceties and platitudes you get and it came to the point where only a really firm and aggressive hand was going to make a difference. I'm still waiting to hear back to be sure the situation has been resolved.

My husband tried to deal with it, my father our contractor tried to deal with it, and neither of them had any luck so I was told to deal with it. As they said I would have more luck than they ever could. I try and steer clear of this sort of thing because too much stress and having to act like a b**** can really throw off my moods for days and even weeks.

Now I'm reeling. I'm so upset I'm crying. I don't like this part of me. As my husband says I'm a lot like the Hulk. I don't like to go "hulk," but sometimes I have to. I guess my mantra should be "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
