Not as bad as you think

I’ve spent the last month or so dreading something I had to do at work.

I should have looked forward to it: the ultimate goal is to pass it on to someone else.

But I worried about it. And didn’t want to think about it. And really didn’t want to think about all the complexities I’d have to teach slowly and clearly.

I woke up at 3 a.m. this morning stressing about it.

And at noon it was mentioned. It started at 2.

And it was over by 4.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

I wonder what else falls in that category…
