I always try to keep job stress from spilling over into my personal life. Sometimes I fail. And now and then, a situation crops up that makes me regret it。
我总是努力控制工作压力,不让它影响到我的私人生活。有时我也没做到。偶尔,也会出现让我对此深感懊恼的情况。
After a long day at work recently, racing to hit deadlines and falling behind on my to-do list, I took a call from Josh, an installation guy for a new Internet service I’m trying out. I’d left a message for him hours earlier. I was already annoyed when I picked up the phone, and my impatience spilled into our conversation。
不久前有一次,我忙了一整天赶时间,但还是没完成我预定的任务,这时我接到乔希(Josh)的电话,我正要尝试的一项新的互联网服务将由他来负责安装。好几个小时之前我就给他的电话留了言。当我拿起电话的时候已经很生气了,这种不耐烦情绪终于影响到了我们的谈话。
He offered to come to my house two days later. Then we had to plod through my providing a credit card number, e-mail address and directions. By the time we hung up, I’d missed a couple of work calls and I was aware that I sounded grumpy ″ even though Josh remained pleasant and polite。
他提出两天后到我家来。然后我们不得不费劲地弄完手续,提供我的信用卡卡号、电子邮箱地址,我还给他指了到我家的路该怎么走。到我挂电话的时候,已经错过了两个工作电话,我意识到自己听上去气鼓鼓的,而乔希仍保持着和气和礼貌。
