I came home feeling low last night. My boss is nice, but he's gotten really negative lately. A lot of additional responsibilities have been heaped on him by upper management, and he's not happy about it so he's always complaining to me lately and making sarcastic little jokes about upper management. But he's not standing up for himself or me about decisions that are being made about my job, just being wishy washy. I have really started to lose respect for him. I can be feeling all right, and I then I meet with him, and I start to feel bad. I've started to avoid him, and I've decided I'm going to tell him that I don't want to meet with him anymore if he's just going to be negative. I mean, I don't think it's his job to be all cheery, but the least he could do is not wallow in negatvity. Sometimes it's so hard stay positive, and I felt myself teetering on the abyss last night, ready to fall deep into the blues. But I ended up giving myself a little pep talk as I stood out on the deck, smoking a butt. I basically said, "You're not going to give up on yourself. You've come too far for that. Don't let people get you down. You're working towards a degree in a field that interests you, and it's difficult, but you can do it, and you know you're doing the right thing." It's hard, but I know I can persevere.Labels: the blues, work posted by Miss Rachel 4/28/2007 08:45:00 AM . . .
