The Green Pill Secret: Emotional Intelligence

Welcome everyone to a new episode of the Green Pill Secret, brought to you from lovely Reston, VA. This week we’re talking about Emotional Maturity through Emotional Intelligence. I, personally, am the first to admit I sometimes lose my cool. I don’t like it, but it happens. For instance, they inserted a new line item into my lease requiring me to pay for the common area at utility rates which would be more expensive than for a 4000+ sq ft. / 375 m²  home but divided among 100 or so apartments. There’s no way gas and electric for one month of the common areas is more than $3,500, it should be about a tenth of that for the given common area square footage.

Point being, something like that, dealing with it and reading a 66 page new lease agreement and trying to get this episode out, it’s a lot of stress. And when I went to export the video, would it just be my luck that Final Cut Pro crashed and deleted all my edits! So, I couldn’t export it when I was down, complaining to the leasing office and then had to edit it again when I got back. Needless to say, I was angry and as there was noone but me to complain to, I yelled at the walls as I headed for the leasing office to kowtow to their weird new amenities rider. And, it didn’t help that that the Adobe Reader was doing a terrible job with Text to Speech!

Anyway, someone called me while I was trying to negotiate my lease and I called them back for a potential contract to hire job opportunity—which is likely the best option opened to me at this point. And I’m late for this Maryland Tesla Owners event. So, just keep calm and carry on and you’ll be fine as long as you remember to regulate your emotions!
