Light Rain, 57 Degrees

Monday was a very bad day for me. So bad that I had to call in sick yesterday. I just couldn't pull myself to work and sit here biting my tongue, impatient, and irritated. This working is a penance I'm paying, I guess, just like everyone else. Today I am trying to keep the things to be grateful for in the forefront of my mind:

1. Low stress
2. Internet time
3. Writing time
4. Minimal customer service
5. Good pay
6. Good benefits

You can do it, Little Emma, you can.

I gave someone some advice the other day about what to do with someone who is rude. I said ignore them. Don't look at them, ever, even for a second. And when they speak to you, pretend you didn't hear them until they have to repeat themselves three times. After a while, they'll stop addressing you. I'm practicing what I preach. Grown men with ponytails must be ignored at all costs, y'all.
