I Am Feeling Meloncolic

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

@RussH - I do the same thing when anyone reprimands me, even when they're being nice about it. I fall to pieces inside and obsess over it for days sometimes. I have a huge issue with right and wrong so if someone had told me not to do any prep work, then I wouldn't do any prep work. I can't cross that line. Life would be easier if people would say exactly what they mean when giving directions.

As far as things getting better, read your message to me and pretend I am saying those words to you. I mean it. You said it so beautifully, I couldn't say it any better. You deserve some "better" heading your way and I am sure it is just over the horizon waiting for you.

Thank you. I did go back and read them. I am glad you liked them.

Yesterday day it was just a couple of things, and frankly it is foolish of me to allow it to bother me, but then if things like this didn't bother me, then I wouldn't be here on the forum, right?

It was not so much what my boss said, but how it was said. And I know she did not mean anything by it; it was just my past finding a way to slap me around again. And that is how the day started.

Secondly, since I have been working there, about 3 months, several people have had birthdays, and they have had cake, or something for their birthday. Well it's my birthday (today actually but I had the day off) and nothing was done about it. When my boss left she told me to have a nice birthday, so she knew it was my birthday. I know this is a small thing, and I should not let it bother me, but when you deal with feelings on insignificance and feelings of worthlessness, then little things like this matter.. Yes I know if I keep whining then we will all need a ton of chesse to go with the whine (wine) cheddar please:)

So much for the whining. I did have a good day, and I am posting a picture of the falls we went to visit today for you to enjoy.

@RussH - I have had the same kind of birthday thing happen to me before. It stinks. Happy birthday and I am glad you had a good day.

Happy Birthday! :) (I'm kind of glad you're not spending it at work.)

Happy Birthday. I've had that happen too so for 10 years in a row I would buy my own birthday cake and bring it to share with the developmentally disabled adults who came to swim at our facility and "we" would have a party. Now it doesn't bother me so much.

One gal gave me her favorite coloring book and crayons one year. I still see her around town as well as some of the others. They never forgot our parties.

Birthdays are a tough one. I assume that if a colleague goes out of her way to take that day off then she is trying to avoid it at work. Hence no cake. If the birthday was a weekend then probably cake on the Friday before.

Personally I don't usually tell my colleagues, although this year was different as I had arranged to be on a special holiday for a special birthday. So they knew.
