Negativity.

I've been thinking a lot about this lately too...and I have a friend, and former co-worker, who posted this today. I really could not have said it better myself. In fact, I have been trying to figure out how to put it into words for a couple of weeks now...

Hope everyone out in bloggerland is having a great month thus far. And I'll post something mind boggling soon.... ;P

If there is one single thing I've learned through this recently process of changes in my work situation it's that I can't take the negativity anymore. I thought - really, truly thought - that things would have blown over by now or at least have started to. But I would be oh so wrong. It sometimes seems like I can just feel the hostility radiating off some people. And you know, I'm all for feeling whatever you are feeling whenever you are feeling it because it's good to acknowledge your feelings. BUT...at some point, you have to get over it. You. Just. DO.

And personally, I'm happy to have a job. One that I actually enjoy. It's never going to make me rich, but I feel like I'm doing a good job. So when I get all this negativity radiating at me it's annoying. Today someone just pushed every last button I had and I managed not to fly off the handle, but I did stew about it the rest of the day. I'm over it now, but sheesh. Lighten up folks!! If you choose to be miserable, then you will be. But if you at least attempt to make the best of things, you might be surprised that it turns out better than you ever imagined.
