Sorry for lack of posts lately. There are a couple of factors at work. Number 1 is that I now know some people at work are aware of my website and blog. Granted, I've never said anything bad or defamatory about work, but knowing someone could be watching has caused me to second guess several posts. Number 2 also deals with work. I've just be plain out frustrated lately. Even though I feel I do a pretty darn good job about 99% of the time at work, I only hear about the 1% that gets screwed up. And of that 1% that gets screwed up, it's usually caused by someone else 80% of the time. There's math in there, you can do it, I won't. Tonight I essentially got the blame for a wrong promo airing. Suffice it to say I got a little cranky after the first phone call. The second call 3 minutes later from someone who sits four feet away from the first caller sent me over the edge. It's not often I'm upset enough that I can't speak but it happened. I couldn't even swear! And if you know me well enough, you know I can swear quite easily. I don't swear so much because I'm mad, but more because I feel it doesn't need to have the negative connotations associated with it.
So, yeah, I've been frustrated. I don't get paid enough to get yelled at for everything that goes wrong yet never hear anything good. The recent trip to Florida was nice. I still didn't see anything. I actually turned in a 72.5 hour week while down there. Then I returned home to plenty of comments about my "vacation" to Florida. That was probably the beginning of my undoing and stress level. Since I've finally hit my one year anniversary, I have vacation time now. Maybe I'd better take it before I go beyond frustrated.
Just think Ryan, Only another 40 years of this. Been there, Done that, bought the T-shirt. Enjoy the rest of your day..

I feel a bit better after today. I think if nothing else I just needed to get out of town and do something on my own for a change.
