..i see the sun coming up..
Someone asked me the other night if I ever get tired of talking about work, even when I'm outside of work? I never used to because I like to use it to focus on something positive instead of everything else in my life but, lately its been hell. I can't focus on the job. Everytime i go in, our order entry screen just reminds me of this vortex that swallows every positive thought that I have and turns them into negative until, i'm looking at coworkers, friends as tho they are strangers. I've never felt like that before there. I mean, my first day at the call center I made a friend, that has turned out to still be one of my best friends and, now when i look out at the call center i see these people, that i really respect and love, and just want to yell at all of them. Its not any one's fault or maybe it is all my fault and i'm just not ready to accept responsibility. Or maybe, I'm over certain things at work and want to just cry because we all use to be friends and now it feels like we won't ever be friends again.
People do nice things, and feel bad about it, but then why did you do it in the first place? Because it was the nice thing to do? or becaues you wanted the kudos for doing a nice thing. If you do something nice, do it for being nice, don't do it because you want the appreciation and admiration of your bosses for doing something nice for someone just do it for the appreciation and admiration of that person you did it for. And it was a really nice thing to do. But, then again, nice guys finish last. And you always want to be known, deep down, as a nice guy.
Life is difficult, and life is hard and sometimes things happen that just really isn't fair and it sucks. It's not your fault at all. Don't let it eat you up. It doesn't mean you can't do well at that job, you have already proven that you can. It was a hard decision on people to make, and i'm sure it was a decision nobody wanted to make. You are still a good guy, no matter what i say when i'm mad. I say it because i can and i know you are still my friend, just like no matter what you say to me, you are still my friend. I don't want to use the old cliche of "when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade" because i know its hard to get past this right now. And hell life gave you a lot more than lemons.
You are too nice, too dang nice. I love it about you. You are a great person but, once you realize people like you for you and not how nice you are, things will be different. You let people walk all over you and its not fair to you. You do not need to buy things for people, take their complaints, switch shifts or do anything like that for people to like you, just be yourself. I know, i think you are great and it kills me that you don't think you're great.
