Benjamin is construction site manager for a construction company. His company has started a brand new project and has put Benjamin in charge of it. The 1st day of the project Benjamin found out that all the materials that the workers needed were not there. Benjamin started to sweat. He told himself, "Its ok, mistakes happen." He then started to calm down. As the day went on Benjamin started to notice that one worker in particular was slacking off. This is one of Benjamin's pet peaves. He started to feel himself becoming very hot and he was sweating. Benjamin counted to ten and then he calmly walked over to the worker and warned that if he didn't do his job he would get written up. The worker then screamed ate Benjamin, "I was doing my damn job!" Benjamin started to feel himself become even warmer than before. He told the worker to go home for the day and walked away. Benjamin repeated the name of his daughter 10 times and noticed that he had already felt better. At the end of the day Benjamin thought to himself, what can I do now to make tomorrow go smoother. He came up with 10 things and did them before he left.
