Week 2 of the semester and I still do not have the book I need for Management Theory. I am getting so behind! At least the teacher is aware and extended the due dates for the homework, but I'm going to have to cram all the homework at once. Not fun.
The Marketing class is going ok. I have a book. I did the homework. He's actually a teacher who won't let the kids text and stuff in class. HALLELUJAH! Do you know how annoying it is to sit next to someone with a phone buzzing and clicking in class? Maybe it's my supersonic hearing--this distracts me from the class activities. I've had only one other teacher who had a hard rule about cell phones. One. I actually had one teacher who answered his own cell phone in class. What is so important that it can't wait an hour til the break or the end of class? It mystifies me.
How did people survive so many years without cell phones? Another mystery.
Work is crazy!! The summer was, admittedly, slow and not much to do. Fall has hit with a million projects at once. This is mostly good, but yesterday my stress level was off the charts. Not to mention my neck & shoulders were sore from stuffing envelopes for hours and hours... I'd like to pace things a little better, but feast or famine. Do what needs to be done. I just hope I don't forget something and make a big oops. That is my constant fear.
But this morning I was talking to my Sweet P. He knows the frustrations of the moment. He has his own frustrations with school & work. I was updating him a bit, and I realized that while this is serious business, it is not worth all the stress that I was feeling yesterday. Once in a while you need to just take a step back and laugh at it all. The work will get done. Will it get done by an angry stressball? or by an employee who can still smile through it all? I don't want to be the angry stressball. I want to be calm, cool and collected. I apologized to my honey for ranting a bit lately, and laughed at the absurdity of my state of mind yesterday.
When, oh my soul, when will I remember to lean on Jesus with my problems and worries???
