Hello Fellas:
I spent my day walking on clouds today, specially at work, as I got dressed in a nice High Class office outfit (black pants, blue button down long sleeve shirt, nice new black Kenneth Cole belt, and shiny black shoes) with the intention of starting a new Monday in a good mood, and ready to rule the world. Usually, I come to work on a striped polo shirt, short cargo pants and snickers. But something about this week, and a new feeling that I have to come to work with a winning attitude, forced me to dress to impress.
Things went well. My boss accepted a new idea I proposed, to make an aspect of our daily routines more productive and effective (it never happens as he is set in his ways to manage the office and loves to see people fail so he can scream on their faces) and my clients were happy with today's fires that I managed to help them put out.
I even shared half of my lunch with a fellow co-worker, as he looked like he needed some Wheaties for lunch.
And to top it all, I was eager to get home to spend some quality time with the family so I can eventually make it to this ipc (information power center) or blog.
Ten minutes into our dinner table discussion, the love of my life and I got into a verbal dispute over who is going to skip work tomorrow to take care of our sick 2 year old boy.
Can you start to hear the violins right about now?
My cloud turned into a pirate's ship plank! And I was just one step from falling into the icy water of Bummer Sea. I was ready to share with you all about my picture perfect day!
But then, a weight got lifted off my shoulder when I remember a little trick I learned when I did the Love Dare about 2 years ago. I stopped, and gave it some thought. Think, think, think...Angel think!
Ahaaaa! I texted my boss to tell him about the chance of me taking a day off tomorrow, and went over to my love, and asked for forgiveness. She clearly was more upset that I was and more was playing out in her mind than mine. Taking off a day of work would be a lot simpler that her. I just wanted to have a good attendance record at work this week. She was very upset because of all that entails getting a sub to teach for her, getting the kids to go to school in the morning, dealing with a baby sitter that might not want to be around sick kids, the nurturing aspect of having either mom or dad there for her sick son, and more!
Give it up for THE LOVE DARE! Sorry, but I did not pay a whole $10 at Amazon to get that book for nothing. I need all the help I can get.
Have a good night, good friends!
