No Apologies for Being Me.... I am, by nature, a very polite person. However, catch me on a bad day, and I can be churlish and prickly. I'm not always sure that my good behavior makes up for those times that I'm unpleasant; but, I try to keep those periods as brief and isolated as I can. Unfortunately, if someone's only experience with me occurred on a day when I was several shades of intolerable, that is probably the impression they carry with them.
