There is an infectious grumpiness sweeping through our company lately.  I don't know what's causing it, but it seems that every second bit of correspondence I've seen lately has come with a complimentary chip on the shoulder, just waiting for somebody to say the wrong thing.  I took a small dig at one of our programmers the other day to which he took understandable umbrage (a bit out of proportion to the comment, IMO, but it's not my job to tell somebody how offended they should be by one of my comments).  I apologized to him today when we spoke, and in turn he acknowledged that, in retrospect, my comments hadn't really been off-base.

I'm going to be extra cautious for the next while.  I don't plan to walk around on eggshells, but I am going to ensure that I behave in a professional manner and keep my personal feelings at arm's length.  I'm not sure that I have the solution to our current malaise, but at least I can avoid being part of the problem.
