Dillypoo Dramatics

Dillypoo was quite the drama queen today.

I fussed. I yelled. I cursed. I threw more than one temper tantrum.

The stress level at work is beginning to show cracks in my usually solid demeanor.

But throughout today's trials, I tried to remember the reality check list posted in one of my co-worker's office:

Will this "emergency" matter in 10 minutes?
Will this "emergency" matter in 10 months?
Will this "emergency" matter in 10 years?

I had several emergencies today and the only question that deserved a "yes" answer was the first one.

Which helps put things in perspective.

Especially when I start threatening innocent bystanders with my wand.
