It's Time to Graduate.

The Return of The dreaded EGO

Thursdays have become the dreaded day.  What do I mean by that??? Well, I got to work today and there was a conversation going on about.... me. I am not going to get into all the detail of the conversation but to say my boss asked me to be part of the conversation and I thought it was a topic that was resolved last week and I wanted to cry. Basically one of the ladies I work with is terribly insecure and loves to create drama.

I was so angry with having to have this conversation again. And in fact I told her that I am not sure what the problem is because I thought we had this resolved and what was I missing. At one point when boss#1 and boss#2 were tying to give her a little therapy, I thought to myself "Self this sucks, why should I feel bad about the knowledge I have worked so hard for. And why am I putting up with this for the pennies I'm getting paid?" I also worked hard at holding my tongue because I wanted to call it as I saw it. We are not in Jr. High, this is not a popularity contest and it is time to graduate from that emotion level and move on to a place were we all work together.

Being a part of a ski school that is so very small is kicking my butt. I just want to go and do something I love.  I don't need to make best friends there, but a good working relationship would be nice. The conversation got cut off because it was time for us to go and teach. It was very difficult for me to switch into teaching mode. It is a good thing that I love the ladies in my class. It only took a few minuets of being with them for my attitude to change. They are a lot of fun and if they read my blog I would tell they how fabulous they are.

Thanks for listening to me complain for some reason I feel much better now.

P.S. The smallest town in the U.S. with a post office is Lost Springs, Wyoming. It has a population of 1 (No kidding) it is one of three towns that can claim this.

Wyoming is called the equality state, how did it get this name? 
(this is fun is it not)

Wendy - you know that we all still deal with "adults" who act like they are in junior high. Drew would say ... you can't fight crazy. :)
