Today has been one of the roughest days at work, and it just got me thinking what a stark contrast there is between a vacation and a day in the life of...well me. I don't have a regular 9-5 job. No cubicle work for me. Without disclosing too much, I work with a specific population of challenging clients that exhibit behaviours such as aggression towards self and others.
Needless to say, today is the first day in more than a year that I have worked here that my hair was pulled, was bitten and almost kicked in the face. What a wake up call.
Who wouldn't take a vacation over that any day?
On the bright side, I live in a country that doesn't over work me with labour laws and what-nots. I think the one thing I learned from Jorge is, despite any intentions he may have, he shared his work ethics and life motto with me.
"It is what it is. You have to, need to, stay positive."
So I am going to look at today, this moment, and learn from it instead. It may not always be sunshine and rainbows, but life goes on and there's no point dwelling on negative feelings or thoughts.
