Happy NY to all! I was all excited about being a new blogger and then it took me weeks to post my 2nd one, so my 2009 resolution is to keep up with my blog at least once a week. Of course there is also the "work out and eat right" resolution...so we'll see if I can break my non-committment to resolutions pattern.
The urge to blog today was promted by a situation at work. I work with many personalities, some I like, some I dislike, some I tolerate. Of course this is a public forum, so I will not comment on anyone in particular. I just find it comical the things in life that get others so worked up or bent out of shape. The drama that can be created over a simple mistake is ridiculous!
I reflect on my own personal situation and I have a A LOT of stuff going on in my world, nothing life ending, but enough to cause the average everyday person a fair amount of stress and heartache at times, but I go along my happy-go-lucky way and deal with it. I always try to present an outward positive image (most of the time). I try to smile and be happy around those surround, not to bring them down even when I may be feeling that way. Some people just have that negative vibe about them, even through emails. I know not everyone can be happy all the time, not even me, but for the love of god - Don't be such a Debbie Downer all the time! Even though you may be miserable in your role at work, or your personal life, try a smile once in a while...it may do you more good than you know!
On a side note: There is one co-worker that I do respect and like a lot, and she may even be reading this blog :) She is someone that, from where I sit, takes a lot of crap on a daily basis but always remains professional and accomodating to the ones complaining. Here is an example of someone that always tries to present a positive image, no matter how frustrated or pissed off she may be! So to you - thank you for who you are & all you do!

Man, I hear you there sister-o!
ReplyDeleteA. It's super cathartic to be a dedicated blogger. It's like going to the gym. The more you do it, the more you cant wait to go back.
B. I'm breaking the non-resolution thing this year too, its tough, but totally worth it.
C. Those challenging work folks? It makes it totally worth it when you win-over the difficult personalities at the end of the day. Some you can't. But, when the ones who really "get your goat", so to speak, end up saying thanks or getting your back - you realize that there IS good on the earth after all.
Hang in there... I'm convinced that 2009 is going to make up for the semi-crappy last year.
