Try, try, again...

The day did not go as planned.  First, the electricity was off for a time last night.  My "Sweetie" and I both overslept.  I remembered to take the positive affirmations to work with me, forgot to look at one.

I was running too late to think of anything else to take to work, no breakfast & no lunch.  I had a donut, a handful of almonds, handful of cashews, 3 pieces of chocolate peanut butter candy, more mixed nuts (I believe you get the idea).  There were no good decisions made today (or yesterday for that matter).  Stayed late at work and met "the girls" for dinner.  Thank goodness for the girls.

I finished reading "The No Complaining Rule" yesterday.  I really thought the book was interesting.  There were so many good suggestions for improving the work place.   When I realized that my boss read the book and was trying to put some of the principals into practice that I became concerned.  One of the principals that the author suggests is that all criticism be heard and utilized as a means to improve the "organization".  I think my boss believes that the rule only applies to the subordinates.  She has spent the past two weeks criticizing me and the rest of the staff and then telling us each thing we have done wrong since the beginning of our employment.  I think she suggested I read the book so that I can take her criticism and tell her how I might improve my performance.  I didn't get that from the book, but I think she did and it's a little bit scary!  There should be a Warning Label on some of these self help books!  I may start a hotline!

So, no progress in any areas today, but no worse!  I did have fun at dinner and Craft Night.  Tomorrow is another day and I will try it all over again!  I'll let you know how things go.
