Silver Lining

Usually when I decide on a blog topic, it seems to become a gripe or a whine session.  If something has irritated me during the week, I take the opportunity to share the problem and my feelings . If I'm tired and stressed , I share that with everyone. So when thinking about what to write today, I decided to take a different tack.  I want to talk about my workplace, but the good things. 

First and foremost, I like everyone I work with. Really!  We have an office  with, give or take, 40 employees, and I like everyone.  I'm not saying that I want to be best friends, but in a work environment, it is incredibly easy to get along. 

Secondly, I have a great boss.  He is easy to get along with and knowledgable about my work so when I have a problem, he knows the answer.  I would think that would be a necessary requirement for management, but I have found that to not always be the case.  Management as a whole appreciates what I do and makes sure that I know it.

Third, and my favorite thing, we laugh!!  Laughter is not only accepted, it is encouraged.  Friendships have been forged over the sound of uncontrollable mirth which, I hope, will last a lifetime.

So while the stress is high and the hours are long, I'm incredibly blessed to have the job that I do.  Sometimes I need to remember that.
