sarcasm and laughter

I was driving in to work this morning and I started cataloging how wonderful my week's been so far. Please recall that it's only Tuesday ... All of this happened yesterday:

My manager accused me of being inflexible. As in - unbending. What? I'm more flexible than you ever will be or have been.

I was told that I'm unwilling to try new things. Excuse me? Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but of my manager and myself I'm the one trying new things. I'm the one trying to look at things and see how we can improve them. Fuck that! I'm trying to see how I can improve them. I'm the one who makes all the changes around this place. Not you! Stupid!

I was also told, by a customer ths time, that my branch is one of the worst run branches he has ever had the misfortune of banking at. Thanks. That's only my job you're stomping all over.

So, I've decided to laugh at all of the above. For several reasons. I'm good at my job. I've made changes that make a difference. I'm winning awards and trips and other things that let me know that people higher than my manager know that I'm doing well. Maybe she's one of those people that wakes up every morning and wonders how the world's going to screw her today. I choose not to be like that. I choose to see the good stuff. I choose to not let yesterday's bad day bring me down. Plus, she's not here for the bulk of the day, so I don't have to look at her or talk to her or think to myself "Gee, I hope I never become bitter and hateful like this".

No comments are necessary on this post. I just needed to put into words the way I feel. Plus, I wanted to share the stupidity that some people come up with.
Ta.

Kelly's Zen State of Being

I believe I've reached a state of Zen-like tranquility wherein I no longer wish to spend the day at the bank. Ever. In fact, I'm planning on making merry music in the fields and learning the fine art of zen basket weaving.

The more I think about yesterday's comments, the more baffled I become. If there truly is a problem with the way I manage my branch ... tell me. Don't attack me. Just state it and let me figure out a way to make it better.

*sigh* I just don't see why I should continue to put up with this. It's not worth being miserable every day just because you have to go into work.
