I REALLY wish I had the balls to be more direct with people, goddammit! 
I'm not as bad as I once was, mind you, but I especially struggle with it in my professional life. After all, does my success not depend on being all nicey-nice, and polite, and pleasing people?!
For example, today one of our regional service managers was kind of a dick to me. Basically, he was feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and took it out on me. At the time I was very sympathetic and let it go. But then I started to think about it, and got a little worked up inside. Then I realized that I wasn't mad at him for being a dick; I was mad at me for not standing up to him.
Anyway, I'm off to post what I *wish* I'd have said to him on
Missbernie's 'Suck My Left One' thread. So, what non-physical trait do you most wish you could change about yourself?
