I have decided to simplify my life. The game plan: not caring what others think. If I don't care what they think, I won't be influenced by their opinions and try to do what they will like. So what if I got out without makeup. I just saved myself 10 minutes. This is way easier said then done but I have already started in small steps and had a huge victory....
I had a friend recently reconnect. I was so mad about what happened to friendship (friend just dropped off face of the earth). So friend emailed me. First reaction was to be nice but I have been letting my "inner" bitch out this year. I let friend have it. No apolgizes. It was so easier to be completely honest and not worry about their feelings. That sounds really callous but I can't control their emotions to being with so why am I letting the POSSIBLITY of feelings dictate what I do?
So I thought life was going to get even more complicated with a promo at work. I was wrong. I was told that if I had better attendence that I would have been given the job hands down. Now I will just go to work sick. Sorry to my coworkers. I am trying to stay positive and think this only means something better will come along. Just keeping my fingers crossed I don't have to wait another four years. Lesson learned. So life will stay simple at this point.
The corporate world is so annoying. One year at Intel I didn't get a raise or a good review because I didn't do enough outside project. I did my work excellent and improved work processes, but I didn't find "extra" things to do. You are awesome and have a great attitude! So, no worries! It is their loss!
