Getting into the Christmas spirit at work ? Good for you ! Good idea about the ornaments.

At least you got up on time this morning. If it's going to be 8:10, then 8:10 it is ! LOL

Work for me was good again. Even when my boss started barking at everyone, I kept my cool. I just did my work. My new attitude is working ! It could be a good week all around ! I haven't had a good week in a long time, so I think it's about time. I don't know what's going on with my boss, but he loses it all the time. He will be in a good mood one minute then all of a sudden he turns into someone no one wants to be around. That's why I have my new attitude. LOL

Don't forget to put your stuff out again for tomorrow ! Maybe you'll make it in for 8:00 and shock everyone ! LOL

ok today was between 8:10 and 8:15 LOL yes, i was up on time and - oh well. LOLOL at myself

it was a good day. i walked on my lunch hour in the little park next to where i work for about 30 minutes. it was chilly and breezy - with the blue sky filtering through the clouds. it was so pretty. the only thing i don't like about walking there is it's in full view of the building - i'd like more privacy. but it's open and safe - so that's a big positive.

so far i'm the only person to put any ornaments on the tree. i bought some jingle bells to add tomorrow - people can write their names on them and that will make the boss happy. people will eventually bring ornaments - it's certainly not a slam to either of us.

have you read the book "the four agreements" by don miguel ruiz? it's one of my favorites - and it's here somewhere in the clutter that is my home. one of the agreements is to not take anything personally. i'm trying every day not to take anything personally - except for niceness. there i'll make an exception!

i am so happy for your "so far" good week. doesn't it feel nice to come home and not worry (as much)?

i've had more energy and slept better all week!

I have not read that book, but I TRY to not take anything personally (except the compliments !)LOL That's one of the many reasons for the anxiety......but I'm getting better at not caring what other people think (especially at work).

We have a walking track behind where I work. It takes about 20 minutes to walk around (if I'm going fast). The weather is getting kind of cold here now though. We were supposed to get snow yesterday, but we dodged THAT bullet ! LOL

This week at work overall was a good week. I work a half a day tomorrow (4 hours). So, if tomorrow goes smooth, it will be a good week all around.

What I'm concerned about are the knots I get in my stomach on Sunday. I think about...what else....work. I'm going to make a point this weekend to not do that. As soon as a thought comes in, I'm going to keep myself busy.

I hope it works......LOL

Hi Manofmusic

As I read your posting, I cannot help but think about what that video said, which you responded to!!! What someone else thinks of us is none of our business

Just had to add that one...Sorry

Have a beautiful SUNDAY, FREE FROM STRESS AND WORRY BY GIVING THE ENTIRE NEXT WEEK OF WORK TO GOD!!! JUST SAY, "I AM GONNA UPLOAD ALL OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT MY JOB ON YOU GOD"...REMEMBER GOD HAS REALLY BIG SHOULDERS!!!

WHENEVER THAT NEGATIVE THOUGHT POPS INTO YOUR MIND ABOUT YOUR WORK, COUNTER-REACT IT BY SAYING, "I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN THAT ONE TO GOD, SO IT NO LONGER BELONGS TO ME"

ALSO, YOU CAN COUNTER-REACT A NEGATIVE THOUGHT IN THIS WAY...MAYBE THE NEGATIVE THOUGHT IS MY JOB IS TOO STRESSFUL...YOU COULD COUNTER-REACT THAT NEGATIVE THOUGHT BY SAYING, "GOD SAID THAT HE WOULD GIVE ME STRENGTH!"

EVERY NEGATIVE THOUGHT, WHICH WE THINK CAN BE COUNTER-REACTED BY THE WORD OF GOD!!! THIS WORKS GREAT!!!

GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU IS MY PRAYER, TONIGHT AND ALWAYS!!!

Hi Karm, I have read some of the posts with humor. I used to have the same problem only where I worked for 20 yrs(post office) they really didnt accept my 5-10 min late. So I cheated. I turned my alarm up 15 min to trick myself and it worked for me real nice. Maybe you have already tried but I had to put my 1 cent in. Best of luck and GOD Bless, bruce

i made it through the week - late by 8 - 15 minutes late every morning - but i made it through the week with NO trauma or drama. it was a good week - a very good week.

yesterday i had lunch with two super good friends. in that hour, we probably had more fun than most people had all week! lots of funny stories and laughter.

i'm not smart enough to trick myself with the clock thing. i've got it set a few minutes early - but since i know it's set that way - oh well. thinking about it now, every clock in this house has a different time on it LOL

i'm getting ready for the BIG sec game this afternoon - florida and alabama. i don't care either way who wins - i just hope it's a good game.

i hope everyone has the best weekend ever full of much sunshine, laughter and love.

Congratulations on the great week !

Mine ended off on a good note too ! The boss never showed up today !LOL

Did you go to the game or watch it on TV ?

At work, if we're late, it's ok because we are actually paid by the minute. If I swipe in at 7:10 I will still get paid for 8 hours if I work until 3:40 (1/2 hour unpaid lunch included). I still seem to make it for 7:00 though. It tough sometimes ! LOL

Here's to a great weekend !

it would be been fun to be in atlanta at the georgia dome - but mama and i watched the game on tv - i.e, no tickets LOL it was a good game - but sad. alabama ruled the field this time. it's hard for me to see anyone get trounced to that degree.

i've already got my clothes ready for tomorrow! there's gas in the car. i just need to find something to take to work for lunch. i haven't looked up the weather report to find out if i'll be able to walk on my lunch hour. you're in canada, though, so my whining about cold has to make you laugh!!!!

i'm looking forward with "positiveness" - a word just created by me - to the upcoming week. there's only 2 more weeks before christmas break - 2 weeks yayyyyy it's unpaid leave - factored into the 12 month year. most of us live for those 2 weeks - really!!!

i so hope you've had a wonderful weekend. even more, i want your upcoming week to be something that leaves you happy and at peace.

let me know how things are with you!
