Today...

Today was one of those days that started out almost perfect. I swam my mile at the gym and even got to catch a glimpse of the sun coming up after the rains stopped here. I went to Starbucks and got coffee before going to work for a training class. Little did i know that I would be blindsided yet again. It's one thing to have to go to work in the middle of the a.m. to take a class, but it's yet another to have to continually deal with the same daunting issue. I'm a loudmouth..I know, big shocker there, but truly I am and sometimes it's definitely to my detriment. Escaping specifics, let's just say I continually feel like the child of the department in this area. Physically and professionally it wears on me. I mean I think I'm pretty good at what I do and I put up with a LOT, but somehow conversations always go back to the same fundamental issue when it comes to me. Needless to say I'm wholly sick of it. God help me to get through this and turn this "teachable moment" into something positive and constructive. I don't know how much longer I can do this or how much I can actually change my perspective, but at this point something has to shift. I guess it just demonstrates how much a "work in progress" all of us truly are.
