Venting; Preventing!

It's great blogging again. It reminds me how effective it is to vent and thus prevent negative actions or feelings. Like yesterday, all I wanted to do in morning briefing during our daily 'telling off' was react and argue with her about her 'blanket statements' and manipulative treatment of staff. But, instead I bit my tongue, let the anger bubble in my stomach and waited til now. I know there is no point arguing and yet I hate sitting back and letting it happen. Everyone else is in the same position. The more experienced staff tolerate it and let it brush over them, wisely. The less experienced staff bitch about it in the staff room, careful to see who's about. And everyone else just leaves mid contract. My star sign says today to look at the positive things and I really want to keep up the momentum of energy and enthusiam I have had lately. As the little 'But' creeps into mind, I'll swat it away and just stay positive and focused on what I can control.

Remember, this is one thing I'm not good at.... lying down and playing dead. I'm always the dog barking back. Perhaps it's time I let someone else do the barking for me. Hmmm, maybe this means I'm 'experienced' now..... isn't that sad!

Hey M. Thanks for the comment you left. It is great to have you back too - seems like we are going through some quarter life crisis or something! Take care. I'll be waiting for the next installment!
