Blah

So remember when I said I would write again when something momentus happened? Yeah, forget that. I'm just going to write when ever I get the urge and there is nothing you can do to stop me. :D

WW points: umm...who cares. Next week is another fresh start...yadda yadda.

So anyway, was in a training session with work today: Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace

So the whole day was like doing group therapy with HR and managers in the room with you. Can you say with me, "UNCOMFORTABLE!". They would ask questions like, "What made your worst manager bad? or What made your best manager great?". Normally, questions like these would be okay except that my office in the past year went through hell getting rid of the manager from abyss. The whole office mutinied and went to HR as a group to tell them how abusive it was. They didn't believe us and tried to get us to talk to her one on one. In a nutshell, it was a year with an out-of-company mediator and lots of stress and stuff before she was canned on March 25. (We had the year anniversary last month and had a mini celebration for the "retirement" of the Big G.) Anyway, I didn't want to talk about that to anyone.

The general message that I got out of the day was:

A - something stressful happens - (get fired, get yelled at, get dumped, cut off in traffic, whatever)
C - knee-jerk reaction is get angry or depressed

This is where to stop and re-examine why I got angry, as in go to "B".

B - I was treated badly by my teachers who told me I wasn't smart enough to go to university which has given me a poor self-esteem so obviously I deserved to get fired because I'm a worthless employee.

THESE ARE EXAMPLES! Don't start caring and getting concerned about me now! :)

Anyway, it is a tool to learn to look beyond the knee jerk and look to where the reaction is coming from. Hey...I think I learned something today...COOL!

Hey MyFriendA tm!!! What the hell is going on with Corry St.?!? I caught a bit of an episode where I saw dude telling chicky that he sold her and todd's house out from under them and she said something about getting back from a funeral!?! Who's funeral!?! GAH! Now I'm going to have to start watching on a regular basis just to keep up. This of course means I hate you.

Does anyone else watch "Grey's Anatomy" on Sunday nights? I am now an official fan and will give blood for the next three episodes to contribute to the realism.

Anyway, just got back from a big walk with the new Rio Forge MP3 player. Love that little thing! Am sweaty and must go shower. Will see if I can talk my husband into scrubbing my back. Wish me luck! ;)

Much love to the blogger world!

Blessed be! (That's for all my pagan new friends!)
