A mean sick

Last week, while feeling sick, I found myself thinking about what un-nice people my co-workers were. I made fun of my boss to his face (fortunately, he took it light-heartedly). I complained about my partner to my coworkers. I left mean-spirited comments on people's blogs. And all this just weeks after Yom Kippur, where I attempted to erase or at least mitigate exactly these kinds of sins.

Yikes. I'm really glad I'm getting over whatever bug got me, but I would have liked to think I could be a good-hearted person even when not feeling chipper. Apparently that's an area I need to work on.
