I'm going forth with love in my heart and a song on lips.
"Another one bites the dust...."
k.....wrong song!
*reminder to self---pick a different tune!*
It's Team day. Clinical 'stuff'....lots of adults to meet with to talk with, to challenge and have conversations with. I love being challenged and the look on people's faces when I say "Ya know, you could be right!" Actually, I love that I mean it and somefolks actually think I'm being patronizing.
No.....really.......they actually COULD be right!
Maybe I need to practice putting it another way.
"Wow.....now there's a different way of looking at it and approaching it!"
Maybe that'll work. LOL
Wisepersoninmylife had me practice saying "You could be right" for a very, very long time. I had a weeeeeeeee bit of a problem entertaining the possibility that I might actually be WRONG. And shutting up and listening to other ideas was something I was good at APPEARING like I was doing--all the while manipulating the other person to come around to my way of thinking and doing it my way.
Manipulation of that sort isn't always bad....LOL.....but there's more than one way to do things and I'm not always 'right'. Plus I'm more than willing to let someone else give it a whirl and let THEM take the responsibility for the idea(s).
Yes.....self serving.
Where the heck was I going with this when I started.....
Oh yeah.....it's Team Day.
*sigh*
I get to fill people in on some wonderful (read that dripping with sarcasm) changes that are already affecting us without our knowledge or the knowledge of the people who are evoking the change. I know that sounds strange...LOL....but to the best of my knowledge that's a true statement. The folks that are newly signed up for a new 'position' have no clue what they signed up for and I'm about to 'get to' help them learn their job and show them what to do......and they're not 'my people'. LOLOLOL How insane does that sound?!
But we're talking "Human Services" and that always gets a bit nutzoid and muddled up--kinda like human beings are prone to BE, dontchathink!
I 'get to' explain all this murkiness to the staff who work with me.
And they're going to be sooooooo thrilled.
Actually, I'm going to help them be thrilled.
Cuz clean slates/new positions without definitive descriptions means you can help write what's on the slate!
I say we make pictures of bunnies hip hopping through a field of flowers!
Hmmmmmm...bit like what it's feeling like! LOL
What IS it with this bunny business, lately?
*shrugs*

Hoo Boy - I think I'm glad I'm not one of the bunnies. It might be fun to work with you though...if you let me be right sometimes.
Love and hugs.
I have been known to nod slowly and say, "I could be wrong...." which is usually a TOTAL set up. I only say that when I know I am right.
new positions without definitive descriptions...is great...sometimes...rolling my eyes..
oh you have my sympathies, those sort of days are so tough, with or without fluffy bunnnies and billowing clouds, floating across a bright blue sky. with daisies bobbing there heads in the fields....Oh dear i seem to have been having one of those days to and it's affected my brain!!!
