The other night I was driving down a two lane, tree covered road. No streetlights, no moon, it was dark. Because there was occasional traffic coming from the other direction I kept switching between my high and low beams.
Someone comes around a sharp bend and blinds me with his high beams. You’ve been there – completely blinded by the light (I hear a song there) trying to navigate the turn at 45 MPH.
Jackass! Alone in the car, I direct the name toward my window knowing full-well that he can’t hear me but the utterance makes me feel better. As I continue on down the road, I switch the high beams back on … or so I thought.
Turns out I had my high beams on the entire time. I realize that I was the jackass.
It happens.
Happens on the road, happens at home, and happens at work.
Can’t do anything about when it happens on the road but at home or at work I can admit my ‘jackassedness,’ apologize, and attempt to do better in the future.
