You know those days that occur once in a while when you've only been out of bed for a half-hour and you're already wishin' for 10:00 p.m.? Well, yesterday was one of those days for me. And today, the migraine is trying to settle in as a result of stress-overload.
As I stepped into the courthouse elevator, a super cheerful lady smiled and asked, "What floor?" My immediate desire--which is my typical attitude on any day prior to 8 a.m. and a swig of Pepsi--was to glare at her and simply push the button myself. But, I chose to be cordial, instead. "Eight, please." And, up we went.
As my mind wandered far, far away, the next thing I knew, she was staring at me, holding the elevator door open and saying, "Ma'am - this is the eight floor...are you getting off here?" LOL Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...so that was the start to my lovely day. (insert extreme sarcasm somewhere in that sentence lol)
Up until yesterday, I have to admit that I have absolutely loved my job. But, yesterday, I came face-to-face with one of the biggest obstacles at my place of employment, and it is something that I do NOT handle well: egos.
For the life of me, I canNOT understand why some individuals honestly believe that they are worth more than someone else. My mind just doesn't comprehend it. I can't grasp the idea that a doctor...or a lawyer...or a judge...or a Mike...or a Joe...or a Meagan...has any favor over a mechanic...or a custodian...or a teacher...or a Sam...or a Jeff...or a Nikki. Now, with that said, I CAN apprehend positions and authorities. But, position & authority do NOT eradicate kindness and respect. Is anyone with me on this? I thought so.
Anyway, enough's enough. I got to come home to my sweet babies who make me smile and turn my hellish days into heavenly blessings. So today, I'm thankful for those transformations.
xoxo,
Sarah
