Ouch - irrational guilt time

[sparkindarkness]

One of the partners is wonderful at checking up on people. The people she is checking up on usually want to throttle her as she gets in the way, nags and whines and goes through everything in excrutiating detail and generally makes us late with all our work.

Yesterday I endured a full afternoon and evening of her and she said she would return today.

I remember fervantly hoping that something would take her out of the office all day today so I can get some work done.

She rang in today. She won't be in. Her father has had a heart attack...

*wince* ouch. Hear that screaming? That's my overactive conscience...

Oh please - if anything, from the sounds of it, *she* probably nagged him into the heart attack.

Yikes. *sympathetic wince* That's got to hurt even though it's not your fault.

On the other hand, the part of my brain that's laughing like Renfield right now says that she probably drove her father nuts so often she drove him to the heart attack.

You did not make him have a heart attack.......

Oh, I know. I don't deserve guilt, but I've always had an overractive conscience. It's completely inflexible, extremely harsh and utterly unforgiving.

I've always hated it and praised it.

Yup, it does, no matter how lacking in fault I am, it still hurts.

Yes, the Renfield mind is doing the same with me.

I know. I didn't. I really didn't... but conscience isn't logical. I can fight it with logic but it doesn't make it go away. Which is probably not a bad thing.
