I seldom go to FTS mode these days but... It's been a long week and it's not the only week that's been long and tiresome weeks like this one make me think about my grandmother who once responded with I'm sure it's not anything that you can't handle when I told her about a work conundrum. Overall, conundrums get solved -- not always in an ideal fashion but things usually turn out much better than you think they will turn out and there's no need to resort to five alarm drama.
FTS mode is not my solution most days and I'm more likely to try a good breathing session but sometimes, I know, different releases are required. I know that I'm tired because even my words are going in circles...
You know, that's something that actually helps me be calmer at work, the realization that most things resolve themselves. I'm learning the lesson more and more as I teach it to April. Discretion is the better part of valor, and is often more effective than leaping in with weapons drawn. When you force management to make a decision, they often don't make the choice that you want.
ReplyDeleteBut some circumstances just drag on forever and continue to stress and gnaw and irk, and eventually someone does have to invoke five alarm drama just to end it...
I hope next week is better for you.
Thanks Gingerzingi... Thanks for hoping and for adding more perspective.
