Stinkin', Rotten attitude!

Published

Yeah, it's mine. I have been up to herewith unnecessary "stuff" at work lately. Being used and abused is one thing. Now it's spilling into my personal life and today I woke up with a major attitude! I am not liking "angry me". Doesn't look like it will get better kids. So, jokes, advice, finger pointing while joking... Go ahead! Anything will help.

I have much to learn. Clearly I have not followed the above rules and my attitude has suffered!

I am still trying to figure out how to pass off the rum and coke as a coke when I am at work. Or passing off the wine in my water bottle as well, water!

Oh well, another chocolate caramel brownie for OP & me.

Go home, feet up, sit in the sun, read a really, really trashy novel.

You only have 20 or so more days to drink pina coladas, (akin to the "don't wear white after labor day)

Then you will be forced to drink mulled cider.

Treat yourself to some really, really soft sheets, a soft fluffy blanket, and naughty nighties. Lay in your bed like you are the queen of the world (cause you ARE!!) and watch some 80's movie on the TV.

And on your next day off, get a mani/pedi. And a blow out of your hair.

Last but not least, find a radio station with music you love and sing--LOUDLY--on your next drive to work. It is hard to be in a bad mood when the soundtrack of Grease is playing in your head!

That's a great one! If I could only figure out how to disguise it, then I could quit trying so hard to find a decent cover for my hangover. I think it's time to put on my red undies, jump in my new sheets, binge on the 80's section of Netflix and get crackin' on this.

With my brownies of course!!!!!

give yourself some "me" time....mani/pedi, hair appointment....something for YOU! ;) Always helps me de-stress!

How about a flask instead??? ;)

Bunch of amateurs here.

EVERYBODY knows you have to drink vodka at work. It's clear, and it doesn't leave that residual eau de alcohol on your breath. ;)

A friend of mine found these awesome little stuffed animal snakes at a craft fair once. They were called Dammit Snakes (if that violates the TOS- rhymes with "Ram it."!)

There was a little poem attached to the snakes:

"When your temper is about to boil,

You want to scream and shout.

Here's a little Dammit Snake

You cannot be without.

Just grasp it firmly by the tail

And find a place to slam it.

As you whack the stuffing out

Yell 'dammit, dammit, dammit.'"

LOVED my snake!

You guys are all awesome, I needed something this light-hearted (sp?) and fun after today's shift at work. Have a wonderful week ahead, everyone of you.:nurse:
