I wish I could let things go more easily...

Instead my brain stews on them. Even when there's TONS of positive wonderful good things, the two tiny little negative things become all I can focus on & remember.

Sigh. I received my annual review form yesterday at work. THANK GOD there's no face-to-face thing like other places I've worked (that leads to instant feelings of worthlessness & tears). I just sign the form indicating that I've read/received it and we all move on.

I once again I got marked down in the area interpersonal communication & cooperation. I'm too direct, impulsive, and fail at making coworkers feel like a team.

How am I supposed to learn the ways of building relationships - something I've NEVER been good at? How do I learn something that everyone else already knows & takes for granted that everyone else in the world automatically knows too?


At least these minor issues aren't stopping me from doing my job, and they can't fire me over it. AND my scores in those areas are better than they used to be. :)


I had the most minor little head cold last week. After only a few days I no longer felt sick & the head cold had seemed to be gone - I was VERY happy! However, I started coughing, rather badly at times. So I went in to the Dr yesterday thinking he'd tell me my asthma was acting up and I needed to go on prednisone (I HATE that stuff). But instead he said I had bronchitis and it would just take a couple weeks to clear up. He gave me some good cough medicine in the mean time - some non-drowsy stuff too! :D
