I had a bad day. I have a lot of projects going on with no end in sight and simply not enough time in the day to accomplish them! I want to complain, but in the recent past, that only made things worse. And since my big mouth always seems to get me in trouble- I feel like I need to learn to shut my trap! But that’s also really difficult for an admitted, slightly untactful, perpetual over-sharer. (Might I add, I can dish it out but can’t always take it… probably should work on that too.) Anyway, I came home feeling like a pop can that was just shaken by the best bartender in the world- who, might I add, seriously needs to fix me a martini.
In an attempt to show that I am growing in my attempt to find “restraint,” I will let YouTube talk for me. I would like to preface this by saying- I actually really like all of my bosses- so this in no way reflects how I feel about them- however this video made me laugh so hard that I couldn’t resist posting it. I just LOVE British humor and it helped to brighten my frustrating day. I love #7. We’ve all felt this way before so please enjoy. And then tell me how you deal with your frustrating days… because I could use some advice!

Not to get all “Fight Club” on you, but you are not your job. I know that you spend 40+ hours of your week there, so it’s a pretty significant chunk of your time, but you can’t keep yourself in a position to let your job define your happiness. You do what you can to work toward the company and the company’s clients’ success during your 40+ hours, but let it go after 6.
Not trying to sound flip — this is something I’ve had to work through myself, having worked in marketing in one form or another for the better part of 10 years. It takes time. And sometimes motivational posters.

Yelling seems to work for me, but it’s easier to do that with kids than with a boss. I guess I don’t recommend this method. I’m a bit out of touch and my previous boss had the spine of a jellyfish so work was fairly easy.
