Bad pain day today. Pretty tired too. I was pretty active at work yesterday, making sure to stay busy and everything. I actually managed to get a customer comment card (with a witness) so that'll be something positive to put in my file. It made me feel pretty good too. The lady was really nice about it, said I was a "jewel". *shrugs* I just helped her and her husband pick out some plates and gave them some advice on what to look for.
Other than that, not much to report. My stomach is feeling a bit better thankfully. At work, I had my review last week and it went ok. The overwhelming thing was that she thinks I need to be more consistant in most everything which is really funny considering how inconsistant everything at work is. Oh and they think I need to be more confident...which is really funny considering how much they tell me I do wrong.
One lovely thing a coworker said to me yesterday. He's the older guy who is pretty much a gossip and I don't think he thinks before he speaks. To keep busy, I was opening up ornaments and stocking them and he said that the dept. head for the ornaments was upset yesterday because of how they were stocked on Monday...she didn't know who stocked them, but she wants them stocked neatly. *rolls her eyes* and then he said "It's a good thing, they look so beautiful *this year*" Remember, I was in charge of the ornaments for 5 years. Nice huh? Whatever.
Anyways...I think I'm gonna go lay down. I went to bed around 11pm last night, got up at noon...and I'm still tired. I did manage to call my doc to get a refill of my lortab....and my other goals are mostly just cleaning up around the house and at least one load of laundry. I guess we'll see.

Sounds like things are a bit better - I think you're getting better at "deflecting" their comments rather than taking them to heart.
You can't change anybody but yourself - the rest of "them" you have to learn to live with - your life and happiness shouldn't ever be in someone else's hands - keep the positive attitude and just let those things roll off. I've actually learned to laugh at that kind of person - it's just funny to me now :)
Used to freak me out - needed everybody to like me and was crushed by any type of criticism - but no more - I know who I am and they can deal with it - or not!

Great about the comment card! Focus on that and anything good you can find about your job and it'll start to block out the crummy stuff.
If Gossip Old Guy can't get your attention one way, he'll have to find something else - hopefully something more positive. Don't mind him until he can get it right.
