Frustrations

I'm frustrated.  Lately I've been frustrated more frequently than usual.  Is it as I get older my fuse gets shorter?  Am I losing my patience as the years pass by?  I just don't know.  I see so many things lately that just seem like a bunch of bureaucratic bull feathers (MASH Col. Potter euphemism) that it makes me frustrated.  Whether it's work rules and the inability to get things done due to the plethora of restrictions placed on everyone from regulations and government incompetence to plain ol people being just damn rude and inconsiderate.  I'm not sure if it's me being more sensetive or people are just getting more idiotic.  As for the constraints placed on us at work I find some people rely so much on computers that they fail to see the easy solutions in front of them until it's too late.  From simple things like how to use common sense to a little more challenging things like managing people effectively to ensure fairness and accountability.  As a supervisor in my previous position one of the things I learned early on was the need to be consistant.  Consistancy makes for good employee relations as long as you deal fairly with everyone the same way.  It was hard at times but tended to make for good steady relationships. 
I'm usually a slow to burn type of guy.  My temper flared rarely and disappated quickly.  I liked being like that.  The calm I had inside was a source of stability and comfort.  Seems I've lost some of that.  It affects more than just me, and that I know, is not acceptable.  I just don't remember being so busy all the time.
Anyway, I guess I have to retrain myself to just start chillin' out more.  Perhaps I need to get another heavy bag.  That was always a good way to release some tension!  Or perhaps it was because it's been almost a year since I've blogged!  Yeah, I'll go with that one.
