I realized something about myself today. In my haste to finish off this week at work which, for me, ends tomorrow, I was getting pretty stressed without really noticing. Today, however, it occurred to me that all of those things that were happening this week that were getting to me really were nothing at all. It was all me. I was reacting to things that, normally, wouldn't make me think twice. Funny how that happens. I am usually a pretty level headed person and nothing really shakes me up too badly. But for some reason, this week any little thing that happened just pushed my buttons. I was edgy and angry and grumbling all week. Today started out pretty much the same until I finally took a step back and had a breather. Then a light bulb went off and I knew that I was putting this all on myself. What a waste of emotional energy!
So I have one day left and most of tomorrow will be filled with the office Christmas party. After that two weeks off with pay! And Alex flies in on Thursday to stay for that entire two weeks. And it's Christmas, which I LOVE! So what the hell was I getting all worked up about? Haha!
There will be things left undone tomorrow which can't be helped but I've done all I can to cover my bases while I'm gone so everything will be fine. I've also realized that I do work with some wonderful people. I have a great crew and, even though they do have times when I'd like to thump them in the head, they are, at heart, deeply sincere about their work and the people they serve. I can't ask for more than that!
