yay weekend!

I am SO glad the weekend is finally here. This week was HELL at work. One of the people I work with in the Corporate office was out on vacation this week, and the girl who covered her job was AWFUL. There was lots of stuff messed up with my payroll, and I was beyond frustrated Monday afternoon. I will be so very glad that my regular person is back come Monday :)

There's been so much negative energy at work lately because of the implementation of a new operating system this month. All that kvetching for the past few weeks has just smashed my morale into oblivion. I've tried very hard to remain positive and to block out the complaining and griping, but it's really hard to do that...... and then I had an a-ha moment....

That must be exactly what my co-workers feel like when *I* am kvetching, complaining, and griping about something that has gone wrong for me... like a bad payroll run :(

So, even though I know it will be difficult some days, my pledge to myself for the next six months is to count to 5 before I complain about anything at work. If I take the time to stop my mouth from running before I have even finished processing my negative thoughts, I will be a more productive employee and a more pleasant co-worker with which to share office space. Hopefully. I don't know.... all this happy-happy stuff annoys even me sometimes. LOL

But the ONLY thing I can control is my reaction to things around me. If I pledge to refrain from my negative reactions, maybe I will be better equipped to let others' negative reactions roll right off my back like water off a duck's butt :)

I'm tired. Time to stop rambling now. LOL
