Attitude Adjustment

This work thing kept stomping through my head, and I just couldn't evict it.

First question: What do I want? Or rather, what do I need? Simple: Serenity!

Accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can.

I CAN change me! My attitude. That's all I can change.

So. How do I do that?

Mentally turn the tables.

It hit me last night, as I was listening to 'Making Money' by Terry Pratchett: I AM HUBERT! Ha Ha Ha! I really am! 

And my system is the Glooper!

It's not about the public acknowledgement, it's about my happiness. And my self worth. I know the value of the work I'm doing. I should learn to be okay with that.

Whenever I start to get frustrated, just remind myself: Pucci, Moist, Glooper, Hubert. I've made a little sign with just those names and stuck it to the bottom corner of my work PC.

Now ... is this working just for today? I'm funny that way - some of these epiphanies just don't survive the test of time ... but I really need something to work for me, here. Permanently.

Anyway. That's my Attitude Adjustment.

I think I'll post this separately ... and write a new post covering the 'back at home' part of my Friday.
