Discouraging day...

I had a really discouraging day. Not fun in the work thing. I got flamed by a donor (rich rich person with strong sense of entitlement) at the end and this after a long week of struggling with a new email system and sending quotas and tech support nightmares. I have about hit my limit. If I did not have to go in tomorrow, I would not. I would totally take tomorrow off but I have projects to supervise. Honestly - this person's reaction was disproportionate to the mistake I made. I ran it by a friend of mine and he let me know that it was. It does not feel better though. I am really hard on myself. Anyhoo. That is where I am at. Feeling shitty about this.

My job applications have gone no where. I think I need to revamp my cover letter and resume to make them more jazzy. I will work on that tomorrow and pep up my application packet. I think my recent apps are a zilch there.

Anyhoo. Down but not out. I think I am going to have a conversation with my supervisor and go from there. Clear the air.

Ugh. UGH! I feel better having written this all out.

BTW - I am still very tired but in general feeling better. I think I need a good long rest this weekend and I have a spa day planned at the salon. I am getting my hair colored and nails done. Woot. A little self care will do wonders.

Hope all is well with you and thanks for reading my little post. Ended up longer than planned.

Aww. I hate that for you, hon. *hug* Sometimes folks just overreact. :(

At first I totally blamed myself but then I ran it by someone who told me her reaction was over the top - uncalled for. Now I am more mad than anything. I did send a reasonable response and my mean self hopes she feels bad for being such a bitch.

I totally do. I need some time off. I am going in August but could use some time sooner too. Maybe a staycation. Hugs

Definitely enjoy your spa day! Take good care of yourself, because you deserve it!

*huggles* A bit better actually.

*hugs* I hope today is better! Some people just get so stressed - even over silly stuff - they forget all kind of manners and a healthy consideration of what is appropriate. :(

She did sound stressed so I will try and be compassionate. You are right. We are all busy people. *hugs*

Sometimes I think the whole world has come down with a bad case of entitlement delusion. Makes me crazy.

Hope things start looking brighter for you soon. Pampering is definitely the way to go!

**hugs**
