Crazy Day

Well I had made a committment to not complain or whine anymore after reading a recent article in Oprah. Well that's pretty much a bust. I think I would have actually made if I didn't have to actually talk to or see anybody during my whine fast. But, unfortunately, I have yet to close escrow on that isolated island and thus I had to try to avoid complaining while dealing with real life. Right now I am in a stagnant place careerwise and having a hard time making some much needed changes so while I am stagnating I tend to have a lot to complain about. For example today while sitting through yet another exhausting case conference (i am a mental health professional working for a non profit) I had to refrain from screaming when one of my colleagues asked if it was okay for her to bring her dog she wants to foster to our facility in the hopes that it would be therapeutic for the clients. Well we are cramped for space and we don't even have enough room to sit or do therapy but now we have to contemplate making room for Fido. Now granted I am no Michael Vick fan in that I have a healthy appreciation for dogs as outdoor pets but I don't want to share cramped office with a dog. Consciously employing relaxation techniques. Whew! I had to reign myself in I felt a total rampage coming on. At any rate I know my frustration with my job situation is simply reflective of my own frustration with myself but it's hard to maintain my sanity in the midst of such insanity. Oh well this is my third attempt to begin a Blog, I hope I can keep it up. See you next time.
