Yeah, I don't hate it because it was a T, I hate it because the entire situation could have been managed more effectively by me. The T was necessary. I just think I could have done a better job leading up to it and may not have been in the situation at all.

Oh well. Wasn't the first time, won't be the last.

I think it is a useful exercise to consider how you might have better handled the situation. I think it's equally useful to remember that no matter what you do, you can only control one side of the interaction.
