Seeing Above The Problem
I've told Amy often enough if work were fun they'd have called it sex.
However this wasn't the best of days at the office and I'm really feeling pulled to explore some other options. I don't want to make that decision in a time of frustration and there are other factors, a lot of other factors at play.
Still today I allowed the frustrations of being forced for the past two years to work with dysfunctional equipment/software make me dysfunctional. That's not a metaphor, I'm not that deep or that dirty, our newsroom computer software integration makes my job increasingly more difficult, because the software sucks. I can deal with things that are broken, it's when no one deals with an obvious problem...for two bleepedity bleep years that sometimes I can let it dictate my productivity. Today was one of those days. There are some other things at play, poor people skills among people my job seemingly relies upon, and some doubts as to whether there is someone with the leadership to stop acknowledging the issues, and start working on them.
Anyway, today wasn't the best of days. I had to walk away...and pray.
Perspective.
Work is work.
Life is good.
Spurs are up at the half.
God is here.
I really have nothing to complain about.

Some times it takes just a shake to cause us to put things into perspectice. I was online bowling (don't go there) when Hubby (who got an all clear on pneumonia lungs) cries otu cause he chipped a bowl. "Which one?" I growl. He thought it was my grandmother's. I yell back a couple of things - he makes a few sharp comments as well. I post this happening on the chat board and get this response, "At least he is there to chip your bowl. My hubby died a year ago." I told I was sorry and thank you for the perspective. I apologized to Hubby - who apologized to me. And guess what? Not my grandmother's bowl. Just another opportunity to have a flesh attack.

And hey, Paris Hilton went back to jail. Now we can all sleep safely at night. :)
