runningI was in a bad temper. It was just like the stress in my life that was out of control. I could probably attributeit to financial stress. My company was cutting jobs and they were evaluatingeach worker's performance. This was inevitablein those days of rising competition and shrinkingcompanies. The companies were getting smaller because of the hopelesseconomic conditions. I knew I was being considered as one of the workers they would let go though I had been overworking. Or maybe it was my home life. My wife and I had gotten in an argumentand my 19-year-old daughter announced that she was leaving the house to move in with her boyfriend.
I am usually not a person of quick temper, but yesterday was different. I rode my bike to work as usual; it's about 20 kilometers. I had stopped for a red light and then proceededwhen the light turned green. I had assumedthe car coming from my right would stop, but insteadit went right on through the red light and nearlyhit me. I barelyhad time to react. I grabbed my bike lock and threw it at his car, hitting his rear window
and making a crack.
The driver stopped and got out of the car. I laid my bike down and picked up the bike lock from the ground for protection. Then he reached for his phone to call the police.
