I have a part-time job at a movie theater called Ciné 4. The theater is co-owned by two brothers named Stuart and Alan. Stuart is kind, jovial, and generous. Alan, however, is perhaps the opposite. He is, most simply, a difficult person to be around. He is obsessive, repetitive, tiresome. He is always well-intentioned, but often says the wrong thing and offends those around him. All of my coworkers, at the time I began working at Ciné 4, were fed up with Alan. Within the first few weeks I was working there, I acquired a similar temperament towards him. I would become frustrated with all of the miscommunications and shortcomings that occurred between Alan, myself, and my coworkers. I have recently become more and more aware of these feelings,
