Usher ushers in a new mood

What can i say, i like Usher its true. and I am listening to "confessions" right now.

Today at work I found myself at the end of my rope and it it was only three thirty. Since i had to hang on for a while longer, I hung to the end of my rope and wondered how i had gotten to this place of bitterness and sarcasm and listlessness...

Maybe it was the fact that the new Temp's eyes linger in places a little longer than excusable and he kept asking me to show him how to do processes that i feel like he should know how to do already.

Maybe it was the fact that lots of people were talking about who is on thier radar screen, so to speak. Not that I am unhappy for them.

Maybe it was the fact that E. Newman from G____ Inc. Called and asked for a report that no one ever askes for because company should keep track of thier own employees. I sighed and begrudingly made the report and sent it in a nice but short email.
She replied one minute later demanding for a different report, more details and this and that. She cc'd my Account Manager and the broker. I sighed and redid the report and wrote her back a mean email: "Please find attached report... I hate you." I then deleted that email and sent it with a nicer one; "please find attached report, from our conversation i thought you were asking for the other report [becasue you did!]. Sorry about that"

Maybe it was because the day was sunny, i was wearing yellow, but i did not feel sunny.

Maybe it was because the EOCs are piling up again and i thought i was done with them...

Maybe its because i have given into complaining....

But i have climbed up my rope a little bit...

I walked to a farther bus stop in order to enjoy the sun, I bought a mango for a dollar from the corner market, I wanted corn and the corn vender (man on modified bicycle) was selling corn with chili limon and sal. and it was delicious...

and Usher is singing to me: "Its the simple things in life we forget..."
