RE: Re: A New Away From Motivation

I tried the alphabetical gratitude thing as I was drifting off to sleep.

The only B I could thing of was bacon. That led to candy for C. Then I

couldn't think of a D. Told you I had trouble with the gratitude thing.

Horrific day at work. Utterly horrible, as in pulling stuff out of the product 3

business days before release, which all needs to come out of the documentation

now. My away from motivation is to stop myself from sending mail bombs, and

remind myself that food or caffeine are NOT the answer.

So I am forcing myself to do an alpha gratitude list:

Aquamarines

Books

Cashmere

Dad

East coast

Fluffy

Gluten free

Hope

Ice water

Jabberwocky

Kindle

Love

Maytee

Nourishment

Orpheus by Monteverdi

Polartec robe

Quiet

Rest

Sun

Today

Ugg slippers

Velvet throw

Wainscot

Yahoo IOWL group

Zips (easily)

Good list and SOOOO proud of you for coming here when you were stressed

out. I know what you mean about " mail bombs. " I got myself in big trouble

doing just that, and I lost a few friends because of it too.

:::hugs::: You got this. Don't forget to take some breaks today, maybe go

for a little walk if you can swing it.

Good luck.

I felt really good after writing that list.And you know what? They delayed the

release by a week! Now I can do my job and do it well. And I don't have to eat

over it, though I actually am quite hungry for lunch now!

Amelia, I meant literally sending an explosive, ROFL. I was pretty pissed off!!

**looks around in worry that there might be federal agents lurking**

Loved the list! Especially the Z !

It helps to keep things in perspective (I think you're not a pediatric

oncologist?)

Drop inside and know that " All is well and all will be well " .

Good point about perspective, B. No, not a pediatric oncologist. If I make a

mistake at work, nobody dies.
