Grouchy ...

Ok, sometimes I can be a bit cranky. Friends have teased me about it but I've only just come to realize that some people take it quite seriously and find it off-putting. Sometimes I just can't help myself. Some of my pet peeves can send me off into a rant without much provocation.

On the other hand, last week a columnist in the Globe and Mail wrote about a study that had been done that said that grouchy people are often smarter than those who see the world through rose coloured glasses. They question more ... want to know the why of things ... and, unfortunately, I guess, those qualities can make them a bit more cantankerous.
