Especially when you have to eat humble pie and say "I'm sorry". So, I try and not being wrong. On the occassion that I am wrong...I hate myself for this, but sometimes I try skirting around the "I was wrong, I'm sorry". When I'm being especially disagreeable, I come up with creative ways of explaining why I did or said what I said in a way that 1) makes me look like I actually made an informed decision; 2) makes it look like it really wasn't my fault; 3) makes it look like the other person is partially to blame for my actions. I've used some lame apologies like: "I'm sorry you feel that way" or "I'm sorry you think that way". I know it's terrible, because it's NOT taking responsibility. Pride and Stubborness! I'll blame the Capricorn in me (SEE I'M DOING IT AGAIN) and the fact that I've been working in the legal field for way too long. I argue my way into leaving wiggle room or reasonable doubt and damn...you learn too many ways of changing the focus of the argument, leading the subject manner in another direction. I think I need a job change.
