I realize that in most instances, that is no big deal. However, it's a mental game I play with myself every day-- like "How motivated am I feeling today?" It is also a way to remind myself that, even if the day goes terribly wrong, at least I can still walk up the stairs, which (very sadly) means I'm more blessed than many and it could be a lot worse. (So "quit whining" is usually the mantra of those stair trips.)
Unfortunately, today was almost a crash-and-burn day. My thesis meeting before work was rough, and I didn't have time to fix things right away since I had to go to work, so I was still grumbling when I got there. But I did take those stairs...
Then someone at work "gently" noted that now would be a really good time to let it be known if I want to stay at the company so they can find a good way to write the job description to fit me. That stressed me out a little because my grace period has run out-- I need to find a job ASAP. Where am I going?!
Sigh.
I will be so happy when I know where I'm going in May. In the meantime, if I'm tightly wound and selfish with my time, that's why-- and I give you permission to call me on it if it's getting too excessive. :)
Oh well. Even though I'm stressed now, at least I know that the future is completely open to me!
(Thanks for illustrating, Becca.) ;)
