Job Hunt
Well, the job hunt isn't going so well. There are plenty of positions out there, but unfortunately since I'm the primary income in our family, I have a minimum $ I need to make. But here's what I think is happening...
See, since I decided to look for another job, I have let my attitude get a little stinky at work. My work product hasn't slipped, and I haven't been rude or ugly to coworkers...I just haven't been going about my job with my normal enthusiasm. Well, that all came to a head this Thursday and I made a poor choice. I exposed a lie by my supervisor to a temporary worker in an inappropriate manner. When my boss discovered it, she lost it. Yelled, screamed at me, the works...regardless of what I did, I didn't deserve to be spoken to that way. However, it made me take a step back and examine my own actions. After she had cooled down, my boss and I spoke. I quickly realized that althought I owned my mistake, she thinks she did nothing wrong. We also discussed things that had happened in the past, and she thinks she's done nothing wrong over the last 2 1/2 years. So, my epiphany is that I can't change her, but I can change my reactions to her bad behavior.
It's not going to be easy, but for the sake of my family and my own piece of my mind, I can do it!
Thanks for listening!
