when work affects me outside work
I don’t know what it is about this week, but I’m just really over work. It seems each day I come in that there’s more big things wrong with customers, and that I have to spend quite a few hours just being a problem solver, while my boss expects me to hit sales targets.
Maybe it’s just that things seem to be going wrong all at once with quite a few big customers.
Either way, I can’t wait for this week to be over. Or at least for the problems to die back down again a bit. It’s making me very tired, and I end up being tired and frustrated at everything else outside work - and I hate it when I get like that. I hate it when my frustrations at work affect things outside work.
Right now though, I need to leave the office and head home for bible study that I’m supposed to be leading tonight. And then still have to try and think about a Kedron meeting tomorrow night somewhere in the middle there.
edit: so I did some thinking about this on the way home (listening to Playjerise helped me to be calmer!)… I reckon that sometimes my expectations of “people” in general are too high. In the end, I work in sales, and in a corporate environment. I know that this area of the world in particular is incredibly selfish - so why does it take me by surprise when they do incredibly selfish things? And take advantage of my efforts?
Without wanting to sound high and mighty, or harsh in anyway, I reckon I need to lower my expectations of “people”. They will always be selfish, rude, take advantage of me. I need to know that, and be prepared for it, so that when it does happen it doesn’t throw me and cause me to get frustrated and angry. Instead, I’ll be ready to react in love and be positive about it.
Just some thoughts that were running through my head…
