i've decided that everyday of my life should be eventful, so i'm going to keep a record of the things that happen to me everyday, or at least when i'm at work.
everyday at my work is something worth talking about, so i will share my experiences here....
today i tried calling in sick. just felt really shitty and tired when i woke up after three hours of sleep.
nisha and i stayed up late talking. it was kind of like a therapy session, i was on the couch and she was asking me questions.
after i called into work, i layed back down in bed and realized what a mistake i had just made. but then i told myself that i was being silly because eric had told me that i could call in to work, probably at least once a week, because that's what our assistant manager john does.
so i tried it out. nevermind that i have returned to my work less than a week....i thought they would know by my previous history with them that they could trust that i would not slack.
needless to say, i couldn't fall back to sleep and less than an hour later, my boss calls me and tells me how hard he worked to get me back with the company and that i was "killing him."
i already felt bad and then i realized what a bad decision i had made and told him i was sorry and would get to work as soon as i could.
i took the attitude that making that choice would aide me in listening to the voice that i then knew was the right one to listen to, and i came from that place the entire day, with more ease and confidence.
i still tripped on my words, but my new confidence coupled with the talk i had last night with nisha, i just kept talking and told myself not to replay the words in my head, trying to perfect them.
i bounced around and met people's needs with a light-headed grace that kept me in the right emotional center throughout the day.
these two cute little girls coming in with their mom for passports was probably the highlight of my day.
children are so precious! and they carry with them the grace of god. i feel closer to my higher self when i have their influence.
later on, a woman and her husband came in and this woman was incessently whining about every complication she was having trying to get prints of some pictures.
she reminded me of an alchy, someone so lost in their mind that they cant find any silence beneath the static. her and her husband had apparently just got married and he had walked outside for an ice cream cone because when he gets annoyed, he walks out.
and watching her behavior, i could certainly sense why. i'm sure he's regretted marrying her.
it is my inspiration to never fall that low with my mind and my using to cope.
