I woke up this morning and made a decision. I’m not going to let *things* at work get to me. It’s just not worth it. I’m choosing to block the negative energy and let in only positive. I will surround myself with it and I will not allow the negative to effect my mood, my happiness, my life.
If there is a negative attitude thrown at me I will simply smile, say ‘thank you’, and continue on with my job. Kill ’em with kindness, yes? By only accepting the positive energy, the people around me will have no choice but to absorb that energy and eventually will have to accept the positive energy themselves.
Unfortunately this will mean far less work rants on the blog which I know you all love so much. I’ll try to find something to fill it’s place. I have many funny bloggable thoughts filed away up here. *points to head*
Though not on your scale of mental anguish, I have a similar experience at work everyday. Our ordering department and the gentlemen, if they can be called that, that staff it are the hugest assholes in the world. I make it my point to smile and say good morning everyday and talk to them to no avail. I figure, just as you, one day they will possibly return the favor. Just don’t bring yourself to there level and you will be good to go.
