I'm getting ready to go bad ass.

(American Bad Ass, not South African Bad Arse. Same same but different)

Its not easy. I've got to psyche myself up for it. I often feel bad, before-during-after.


But its also necessary. Sometimes you have to tell people uncomfortable stuff in an appropriate way.


Especially at work.


For a long time I couldn't do this. For a long time I was scared. Of what you ask?
a. People not liking me.
b. Being perceived as mean/a bitch/uncaring
c. Uncomfortable conversations
d. ALL of the above

Definitely D.

Now I'm just a little less D, just enough to actually do it. And luckily life gives you lots of chances to practice politely and firmly telling people 'that's not okay'.

I call it going Bad Ass.

Oh yeah - that's me.
