Blessings and challenges

Blessings:
Life isn't about work, even though we spend a great deal of time there.
Coworker and friend who gives me feedback to help me keep on track.
Supportive family and mostly reliable ways to get ahold of them.

Challenges:
Paula is bossing me around and I have no recourse. I get tired of always having to bow to her will, even though she isn't my boss. Today made me cry, but I didn't let her see it. Fortunately, today was just about a bathroom window-a stupid issue. It only hurt the pride I'm trying to subdue anyway and I could walk away and make a phone call to my family who encouraged me.

Furniture today was moved a little awkwardly, resulting on a meeting with no tables or chairs available and I didn't frame the conversation as I tried to fix it very well. I want to apologize tomorrow but I'm glad I've worked with these installers often enough that they didn't seem offended. Unfortunately I didn't notice the problem until it was pointed out to me. See blessing above the coworker.

Today was a bit rough but life isn't about work and I was able to come home and enjoy my evening- even though that means early bed again tonight.
