How do you Measure Up?

It's employee review time at work....

5:30am

Far too early to be going to work if you ask me... but the traffic is light, and on a normal day it means I'm finished work by 3pm... ok, so today wasn't normal, and I wasn't out of there until shortly after 4... but still... the intention is there.

laziness

Ok, so I've been extremely negligent at updating this lately. As usual, I'm taking the photos, just never doing anything with them. This pic shows about what I've been up to after work. Work has been crazy busy, and Hubby and I are putting in a lot of overtime- which is good as we're saving for a house, but it's exhausting. So when we get home from work, I pretty much shower, and watch tv.

UN-Dress to Impress

So this is after a party with some co-workers to suprise our COO for his 1 year anniversary. We were told to "dress to impress." Well, here I am, with my chest binder peeking out after the evening, getting un-dressed to impress.

Ok, I'll be honest, I didn't dress to impress, I dressed to be comfortable.

The Key to Success

So, I've been pretty frustrated and pissed off at work lately (I know- talking about work AGAIN!!! I promised not to do that). This weekend it seems to have come to a head in my brain, and I actually spent most of Friday and Saturday feeling quite depressed over the many disappointments I feel.

I need to change my attitude. I've been reading some books on how to improve inter-personal relationships, and I see how hypocritical I've been of criticizing others, while I'm doing nothing to improve the negativity within the workplace. I've realized that I hold the key to my own success- not others. It's in my attitude, and how I approach issues at the workplace. Lately, it's been pretty poorly. I know I can do better. I've done better in the past, but I got upset over being passed over for a promotion, and got sucked into the negativity and toxicity and resentment that was growing within all of the other team members (not just me). It was wrong of me to get sucked into it, but I can't change the past. I can only approach next week with a renewed, more positive attitude.
