My Day...
I must admit today was a weird day....I was ready to throw my boss out of the window.
I noticed I have changed. I take care of situations in the now instead of later. My boss got an earful after he attempted to blame me for a mistake he did. I never did that before. I would take my resentments home and let them fester day after day.
Here is what happened...he was looking for a letter done two weeks ago. I know we did the letter as I stayed late to finish the edits. My boss's boss got a new assistant who thought the letter was not done and delivered it to my boss. He got aggravated with me because the filing is not up to date (sorry, one person here...). My boss proceeded to try to make me nervous asking me where this stupid letter was..I found it and flung it in his face after his protestations of how I needed to get caught up!
He found out that the letter was done again because of a technical error. The new assistant felt bad. I guess my boss went to her and said I was mad at her! In truth, I was mad at his behavior for overreacting! I rectified the situation with her by going to her directly and telling her it was him I was angry at and not her!
For the rest of the day, he was kissing my ass! I am like dude "I stay late for you and come in early if you need me. Do not start biting the hand that feeds your sorry ass!"
I hadn't realized how much I have changed. I take of issues right there and then. I feel I was justified in standing up for myself. I am not afraid to be me. It is better to resolve the issue now rather than later.
The rest of my day went smoothly. I sensed he wasn't going to tick me off as I would kick his ass. He did get some comments about his behavior, but he needs to be kept in line. I know I am a damn good worker who is knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced. I feel he knows he doesn't want to messed that up! He is a smart today but tomorrow....I will worry about that tomorrow!
