Crud. Why am I so good at letting one person's upset-ness color my whole mood? I'm not good at looking at cases of people upset about something and going, "Ok, you have a reason, it's valid" or "No, I'm sorry, you're being kind of a baby about this." I tend to give everyone's upsetness credence. And it wears me down.

I was in a good mood when I came into work and now I'm not in such a good mood. I know I need to work on not being unduly influenced by other people - especially people who are being kind of a big baby and complaining about something I would just shrug over - but there you have it.

Forget "insufficiently aggressive." I'm just plain too easily bullied.
