I need today to end.......

Cuz this was a horrid day.....

The only way I was able to contribute in the stupid meeting when I was called upon was to give my 'business' opinion.
And when the meeting ended and the boss asked for some of my time--I warned him that I was going to have to be 'hostile' just to make it out of the building with a bit of dignity and grace.

Yup--hostile was the way I chose to go. It's a familiar route--I get hostile and I spare myself the indignation of emotionally losing control and mutating into some blubbering, sobbing mess.

The good news is I was upfront about what I was doing, why I was doing it and that it wasn't a personal affront to him. He could talk weather, the stupid Hawkeyes....whatever he wanted to--but we weren't talking anything of substance.
And we didn't.

I did get out of the building with a bit of dignity--no bawling, sobbing, heaping mess....but there was not much grace.

Hostility worked.
I'll be cleaning up the mess I created from it tomorrow when the boss calls me.
That's IF he calls me.

"I wouldn't if I were you." were my parting words to him.
Yup--more hostility.


I am not being a big girl about all this jazz.
I had to move myself into a semi-hostile frame of mind before I even put my fingers to the keyboard......


I'm afraid it'll carry past the last period on this page.

Better to just end the day.
That'll be my answer for this moment.....

Not good for you at all Mel; good you can use hostile till you are somewhere you can let go if you need. Thinking of you.

It's so hard when you can't let yourself go with your true feelings and I'm guessing, non-business but much more truthful and important beliefs.
Like being a witness and not being allowed to voice an opinion!
