Focus - x

Recently I had the benefit of hearing someone speak on where our focus lies.  It wasn't a talk about employment at all, but I started thinking about it today as I read through the posts on this board.

The jest of the talk was that if you focus on the negative you'll be grouchy, have more pain, be less productive, and generally be miserable.  If your focus is on the positive, though, suddenly you're happy in spite of miserable circumstances.

I was hoping with this forum that I'd hear things I wasn't privy to, get other people's opinions on things, get support.  That wasn't really what I found.  So, this is my last post because there's just so much negativity on here that I've found myself more tired, less willing to start my shift at the start of my shift, ready to be done with my shift way before quitting time, taking longer breaks to check on this board and thus earning less money.  I'm snappy with my kids and it takes all my energy to just make dinner and put them to bed. 

So, I'm gone, and many of you will be very happy to hear that.  I really don't care whether you ream me over the coals for this or celebrate or say "don't let the door hit ya."  Because in the end I'm going to be a happier person.  Today I'll be productive at work, and my kids will come home from school to a happy mom and we're going to watch the snow fall as we drink hot coco before dinner which I will cook and be happy about. 

There are days that I'd like to leave MModal and I think about it and remember when I used to work for a little mom and pop company and how much more I liked that.  But things change.  I still enjoy the work even if I don't like the company so much.
