The "positiveness" was real good today. My boss came up to me this morning and told me that I f***** something up ! (he has a way with words).
Anyway, I calmly showed him that what I did was right. I had proof and everything. If it's not right, it had nothing to do with me. That was about a 1/2 hour after I started this morning. The rest of the day was smooooooooth. I'm loving this new attitude.
I can't wait for Christmas vacation too ! I'm off from the 23rd at noon until January 4th. I'm going to relax relax relax and some more relaxing.
How was today for you ?
life is good - and it's a long post!

well sweetie - it was a wonderful day. things went right as rain - yay for us!
i got in at 8:15 - sigh and lol
i've found the beginnings of what i think/hope is positive feedback and notice from some higher ups. i'm calm and collected at work - for the most part. again, i'm good at what i do. throw in that i'm an excellent psychologist (LOL) and i'm very valuable when someone is in crisis - i.e., a meltdown.
i so understand being in your position with a boss coming up and questioning like he did. it can throw you for a loop and then some. but you handled it like the pro you are. how great are you feeling about yourself right now!!!!????
we must remember - slow and steady wins the race.
we SO rock!!!!! LOL

Well ! Another good day ! If I can keep this up until Dec 23rd at noon, I'll be all set ! LOL
Now THAT would be a miracle LOL
It sounds like the 8:15 thing is a permanent thing with you. They're probably used to it by now LOL They can time their watches by you LOL
Even my boss was in a good mood today. Maybe he bought the program ! LOL
You are right ! Slow and steady wins the race.
ROCK we do !!!!!!!

yep - not to work by 8:00 is a pattern that all have become used to - but i got in a bit earlier than usual - right before 8:10. a good friend came in after me and was shocked i was at my desk before she was. it was too funny.
and yes, another good day for me. since i've finally understood there will never be safety or peace of mind with two of my co-workers (now known as "them" LOL)and have kept such a distance, my life - both personal and work - has improved beyond belief.
in august, due to people leaving and all, i was moved to the front of our last work site and out of earshot of "them". at this new building, i'm still far enough away from "them" to not be able to hear what they talk about - or who.
this is so important and something you probably know: even when you're not a negative person, hearing negative and toxic words over and over and over to infinity and beyond starts to seep into your very soul - it is so unhealthy. or it is for me! good grief, it's one thing to have a bad day, week, month or even year - but to listen to someone who's life is a bad day every day? heaven help me, i was a captive, a hostage for so long. it's funny because it's sad - and sad because it's funny.
but back to my good day. i wandered around on my lunch hour looking in a few stores for christmas gifts because i wasn't hungry. there was no way to take a walk today because of the rain. the people i interacted with were all fun and funny and extremely positive! i'm enjoying the project i'm working on right now. my boss appears to be very happy with my work performance. wow - i'm in high cotton right now! (that's southern for things are really really good LOL)
we CAN make it until our christmas breaks. i know we can! not because we HAVE to - but because it's something we WANT.
it makes me smile that i know you are smiling too!

Hope you got a chance to stay away from "them" at work today ! You don't need the added stress !
Work was AWESOME today. It went by smooooooth again ! I hope it stays like this for the rest of the year. Even the few people I was having problems with are nice. Maybe it's because we're so close to the holidays ! LOL
I agree with the comment you made about negative people's attitudes rubbing off on me. If I hear it too much, it can cause me to become negative. If I hear that stuff, I'll walk away and go to the washroom or anyplace else !
Here's to a wonderful tomorrow ! Cheers !

in a bit late - but earlier than usual LOL
what a beautiful day here! it was 70 degrees and the sun was blindingly bright. i walked for 30 minutes on my lunch hour just soaking up the light. it was wonderful.
and yes, it was a good day for me too! because thing 1 wasn't in today, thing 2 started a conversation with me. was it negative? yes. did i fight myself away? you bet LOL i ran fast and far - well as far as my desk anyway! remember - things 1 and 2 = "them" LOL x forever
so much is about attitude - we are SO becoming enlightened. a long time ago a friend told me to "pretend" i liked what i was doing - where i was - blah blah blah. well, now i've pretended and it's becoming more and more a part of me. i'm not having to force pretend anymore. it is what it is - a job - not my life - and i'm making a choice - albeit it started out as a pretend choice - to make things work for me! and in rereading that statement, even i'm confused LOL
your day was awesome because you are awesome. never forget that. you and i are working hard to overcome - and we will - and we are.
wishing you have a relaxing, peaceful night! and an even better tomorrow!

70 degrees ?!?!?!?!?!? Must be nice ! We're at 14 degrees F. right now ! The wind is terrible ! Not a nice day for a walk. LOL I'd freeze my *** off as soon as I got to the end of the block ! LOL
Another good day for me
It seems that not much bothers me there anymore. I'm staying focused on the holidays with family and friends. THAT'S what it's all about !
About work.....I'd rather have a job then be out on the streets in this weather ! We have shelters for people out on the street, but they fill up fast. The unemployment rate here is at about 15-20 %. THAT helps me be grateful to have a good job. You are right. It's all about the attitude. I don't have to pretend much anymore either !

14 degrees? now that's cold. whatever strange weather front went through here yesterday packed up and left. it was cold here today - but never by your standard. well, except for the main part of my house. i won't turn on the heat. i'm now living in my bedroom and bathroom. i'm dieting so before i even go into the kitchen i ask myself "how hungry am i really?" and "is it worth putting on gloves and a coat?" this old house of mine holds in the cold like it does the heat. what can i say, i love my home - known sometimes as THE home LOL
a positively (get it?) good day at work! i was later than usual - overslept - oops. i slept in spiral curlers so my hair was - big LOLOL i looked like a throwback to woodstock. a friend told me it was a very bohemian look that suits me. good - because the curls are still hanging in there LOL
so very much is about attitude. but, again, i owe so very much to my boss because she "gifted" me with not having to be so close to "them." that has made a huge difference in my life. i can say without a doubt, i couldn't have made the "positiveness" work without her gift. at the same time, she is getting returns on her gift on a daily basis. again, i appear to be making points all over the place with people who matter. i so hope i'm not deluding myself there LOL
like you, i'm focused on the upcoming 2 weeks off. while i do need the structure of a job - i'm dangerous when left to my own devices - i have family and friends in town - and an attic to start sifting through! throw in the tangle that has become my back yard and i'm thinking i can keep busy. who am i kidding? i'm going to play with my dogs and watch movies in front of the fireplace LOL
i hope your friday is - again - practically perfect. remember to button up your jacket - and wear a muffler, gloves, and hat. i think it's still going to be a bit cold and windy here tomorrow - but i hope it's sunny again!
