Lover's Quarrel

Being single and living alone has its benefits. It means a clean house that no one can mess up. The fridge is never full of someone else’s half eaten and forgotten take away. There’s never a queue to do the washing machine (I once shared a house with 12 people, so I know!), and for that matter, the bathroom. I have the luxury of walking around the house in as much or as…well, you get picture. It also means I can spend over 12 hrs a day at the office, knowing I have nothing to go home to. No pets, no plants except the hardier ones, no loved one. I am thankful that I have great people to work with. But similar to any relationship, when anyone stresses out far too much it affects everyone. They’re pissed off, so you’re pissed off. You get short with one another an get on each other’s nerves. But what’s worse is that you can’t scream and yell at them then slam the door as you walk out. That satisfying act of violence. All you can do is sit and brood, and wait for the tide to turn.
