Urg!! Sometimes when I feel the urge to do something, I just with I would stop and give it another day. Today was my first day back at work. It was really great to be back. I am only at work 15 hrs/wk right now. I don’t feel bad leaving Tyler at the moment because he is being cared for by the grandparents. We will see how I feel when he is in daycare.

Anyway – my work frustrates me sometimes. I sent a fairly condescending email to my boss regarding a presentation they put together while I was away. I basically thought it was crap and said so. While I felt really good about being that direct initially, I realize that I could have used more tact. I so want to be that woman that says what she thinks with no regrets – but I do care what people think about me and how they feel – so that just doesn’t work. In the end, that just isn’t me.

I just need to not act on every impulse that overtakes me – and trust me – I get a lot of impulses. There are days I think that I would do well in the business world – and I WILL – I just need to learn to stop and think sometimes. Consider what the problem/issue is and what is the most appropriate way to handle it.

So of course I will spend the evening worrying that I really pissed off my boss and have to wait until tomorrow to do damage control. Urg – here’s hoping that it all goes okay and I can smooth things over (if he was even upset by it). Thought about taking some Round Rock donuts tomorrow as a bribe…

Otherwise, going back to work was great and I am glad that I made that choice. I have to go now, but take care and I will talk to you later. Here’s hoping the donuts work! :-p
