Today it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut, keep my opinions to myself and maintain sanity while my boss navigated his controlling, somewhat condescending nature all over every decision and discussion. The only thing that keeps me from totally losing it some days is the fact that I know he does not do it intentionally and does not mean to come across in a negative manner. It's just that after the whole emotional upheaval with my mom this morning over my aging grandmothers I could barely hold it together.

Whether it is yoga, perspective, medication or age I am finally STARTING to get to the point where I can manage my emotions better in general and not 'tork" to use my old boss's phrase over situations at work. I do the best I can every day and I have been told several times by my boss that I am doing a good job; so deep breaths, go with the flow and it is what it is. That is my motto these days.
