Well, everybody has a bad day, and you're not the only one. Hell, I spilled my whole awful sob story on my poor coworker earlier and nearly told her she was from a video game franchise, how horrible would that have been? Still, I think I might've shellshocked her a bit with the rest.

Anyway.

[She waves a hand as if to clear the air.]

This is not about me running my mouth off. So please feel free to stop me if I get started. Let's focus on you for a bit. And you might be surprised, but you wouldn't be the first guy I've had a talk like this with.

Okay, so you totally shot your mouth off, and you can't change that. Everybody's been doing it, so at least you're not alone. So, the key thing to do is to at least stand by what you said. It might not've come out the way you wanted it to, but it's out where the other person can think it over. So, how did it go?
