Today kind of sucked on many levels, most of which I can’t talk about because they are work related. The low point was probably when I started crying in my boss’s office. To be clear, this was not my boss’s fault. My boss is awesome. I just got overloaded and heard the wrong thing at the wrong time. I’d also like to state, for the record, that usually I adhere to a strict no crying at work policy. There is no crying in baseball (per Mr. Tom Hanks) and there is no crying at work.
Anyway, rather than dwell on the sheer overwhelming craptacularness of my day, I thought I’d try turning each negative into a positive.
So I sat in traffic for a ridiculously long amount of time this morning just because it was raining. I’m grateful I was sitting traffic in my new car, which I love!
So I had a difficult day at work. I’m grateful to have a job that I enjoy and that pays me well. I’m really grateful to have a wonderful team full of people who I like and who do a great job, even when I’m so busy I can barely give them the attention they deserve.
So I got stuck in traffic on my way home at 9 pm because there was an accident. I’m grateful that I left work when I did, because if I had left earlier, I might have been on the road right when the accident happened.
So I got home late. I’m grateful that my husband and doggie were here and happy to see me when I arrived.
So I had a lousy day. I’m grateful for the iPod touch I bought myself as a consolation prize.
When you look at it that way, my day wasn’t so bad after all…and it’s not all just because I bought myself a fancy new gadget.
How do you turn a bad day around?
I hope today was better. If not - it's the weekend!
So, give me the lowdown on the iTouch.
I tried sending you an email, if you dno't get it, will you let me know? I have some questions for you.
This 'touchable' iPod better be as cool as it seems, otherwise it's a iPhone with no phone and that seems silly.
Sorry your day sucked. Hope that the weekend recharged you. I'll try to call you Mon or Tue.
