OPINION:
Some days you re the kid with the stick, some days you re the pināta – Alec Baldwin There are days and then there are
days. We all have them; the days where you just cannot deal – with school, with work, with family. When a small slight from a co-worker, a classmate or your boss plucks at your nerves like discordant harp strings and sends your stress hormones off the chart. Some are able to roll with those punches, and maintain good mental health overall as we do – which means we re probably not the target of microaggressions (the voguish word for all those almost invisible slights we re supposed to just “get a sense of humour” about) on a daily basis.
