There’s this lady at work that is the typical “ass kisser.” It’s mostly annoying more than anything, but when it interferes with how I look, it begins to make me think. She is friends with the boss and at all costs, tries to make herself look good while making others look bad. I’m not the only one she does this to either. I know I’m good; I know I am one of the best processors in our department…there are no doubts in my mind. But there’s this lingering thought about how she is making me look…I do not like it when others portray me in a negative light when I know full well in my mind that I exceed expectations. I work hard. I want this to be how others see me. It doesn’t help when people try to jeopardize that.
In the move to La Mesa, I overlooked a couple of my financial liabilities. Not a huge deal, since I did pay them…but still, there’s a principle. I work in the financial world. I don’t like being late on a payment. So while this may not be a total disaster, I do not want this to be a negative reflection of my financial habits. It’s just one more thing to think about…wondering what will happen next.
I am the ringleader in this circus I call life. I am in the midst of working on 3 major projects for clients, aside from my full time job. I am diligently working on a web site and two video projects (one of which I promised to a client a couple weeks ago). It’s not like I neglect my work, but I have a lot to do. So I continue to work…and I continue to worry.
I’ve been doing a lot of that, lately. Working and worrying. Worrying and working. And then I remember jotting down Matthew 6:34 for this very reason:
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”, [NIV The Holy Bible]
It doesn’t make things any easier or remove my obligations, but it does remind me to stop and deal with the things I can today…and that I don’t have to go it alone.
I’m glad it’s a three-day weekend this weekend. I get to hang with my bro tomorrow, so that should be good. Talk to you later…back to work.
