Re: I should be working



Do you have a mantra Carmen?
Can you do a short gratitude list?
Something that works for me - if I can change my thoughts and force myself to think of happy things or good thoughts, my feelings and attitude will follow. A wonderful thought I found myself thinking most recently (when in a sad/bad mood) was of Thanksgiving, how crisp the cool fall air is, how my house is always clean (I gear up for it), how wonderful to have the pumpkin pie smell in the house and all my family on the way to celebrate Thanksgiving here with me. DD will come for a while, and we listen to the Macy's parade, and it is just a wonderful good memory for me to think about - especially during the heat of summer!

I am so so so very proud of you Carmen, that it brings tears to my eyes. You hang in there. The new boss probably has some redeeming qualities, and if not you can always remind yourself that she "sits on the pot to go to the bathroom" too. Somehow that is a great equalizer for me.

With hope and heart,
Kathleen

But I can't concentrate. Today is just one of those days were my mind
is toying with the idea of having a smoke. I eat gummi bears, drink
lots of water but the urge does not want to go away. I am going
insane. Over the last two hours I walked the hall way so many times up
and down that I lost count of it.

I feel alone in my office. I miss my boss so much. I just feel lost
without her. My mood is just terrible and if I wouldn't be in uniform
I probably would be sitting in a corner and cry. I don't like my
bosse's replacement. She seems to be very arrogant. :( She is just one
of those people. I have been looking for her (she works on the other
site of the building) all morning cause I need something authorized
and she is always out on a smoke break so I have been told.

Damm it can I not just go there? I want to smoke too. But I want., I
know better. I am just trying to get through.
