Its been a long day. Not a hard or a bad , just a long . Usually the fall time change isn't hard adapt , but Ive been getting up at least an hour and a half earlier than normal all week and I think it is finally catching up with .
While I can string 2 sentences together, that's about the extent of abilities right now so tonight I am grateful for a day done well, a bedtime before 4 am and nice comfy bedding for some much needed sleep.
Gratitude is a duty which ought be , but which none have a right expect. ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

I hate my job.
Not what I do, but where I work is...............a test of fortitude and will every . It's not the customers, which would make sense, It's the ridiculous expectations of the company itself. Big business has HUGE expectations from us little guys that are the faces and whipping boys of the biz.
That being said, MY BOSS FUCKING ROCKS!
Like most centers, phone agents get surveys sent to customers asking how we did. Yesterday I had a person give me a big fat zero. T.he bosses have to pull and listen to any calls that a customer as less than amazing and then pull us in to 'coach' us on how to do better.
Today my boss calls in, sits down and says
"The lady was nuts. YOU were perfect and couldn't have done anything better or different than what you did, just like you usually do. tempted to her back to see what and why she rated you like that for a 3 minute where you did what she asked immediately, happily and even had her glowing because you told her how she helped someone else."
That's the downside of customer . Even happy people push random buttons instead of just saying 'no'.
I was touched that she was THAT offended on my behalf that she wanted to confront this person (professionally of course). She also invented a hashtag for cuz she thinks my way is something for teammates to aspire to. In between blushing I was just cracking up. Not me. Nope. I do my job to help those who have the same need for help I have.
It's just really nice to have someone in your corner in a place where most are for themselves and data overrules demeanor and people skills.
Good bosses DO exist and for that I am very grateful!!!

When ALT was having a hissy fit a while back, entire "Watched Blogs" list got scrubbed. I havent gotten around redoing it and am not sure I will as Ive redone it so many times before and I generally do visit the few folks when I log in so its almost pointless.
I just noticed on home page that though I have no watched blog list I do have a section that says FAVORITE BLOGS.
The problem is that none of these undisputed favorite blogs of mine(with quick links attached) have been active profiles or blogs for several years. like 5+ years for most
I just started cracking up in sheer nostalgic amused gratitude. They may not be there, but they are far from forgotten
Honestly, if I knew how do a seance I'd resurrect every of em. Not that several havent been reborn, but in heart and mind (and alts software apparently) I am still stuck in 20 blogland.
The Mayan end of days calendar just kicks forward 2019 just mess with me.
bloggers past: With gratitude.....

Its fucked up.
Usually I enjoy being grateful for all I have. I don't have to think about it or work to acknowledge it, it just usually...is.
Not so the past few years. Not because Im happy or unhappy. I lack for nothing. I have most needs and many wants met in full.
I like the month of November because it usually makes me focus on gratitude and thankfulness daily instead of as it comes to me situationally. Consciously anyway. Maybe I just feel guilty because I don't pay attention like I used to.
Call it hormones or human nature or just a curve in the cyclical ride we call life, but honestly MEH isnt a good place to live.
Im kicking my own ass to make me be more me. Not that Ive forgotten, but its so damn easy to just sink into discontented complacency.
Can there be such a thing as silent gratitude? Sure but....not really. It isn't even lip service, it's slipshod service.
I thought about how much I need to step up and put in actions not just words or even worse....thoughts. I considered facebook where my family and friends would join in, but honestly....Im not sure I can come up with a gratitude a day and then it struck me.....
Why do FB when I can use ALT the place I also neglect on a daily(weekly, ok monthly) basis. If I'm gonna suck it up and step it up and prove to myself that I can stand up and embrace what I always took for granted before menopausapathy kicked in, it makes more sense to me to do it at a place that I also struggle to visit and appreciate.
Its flawed, somewhat outdated and far from ideal, just like me  but l have found care and hope and sexysilliality and friends and craziness and tears and heart and knowledge and laughter and for that I am truly grateful!
In other(better) words
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John F. Kennedy
