feeling snarky
I had a wretched day at work yesterday. I came the closest I ever have to turning into a screaming banshee that has ever happened in the nearly 5 years I have worked there. I am not proud of my behaviour or reactions, but at least I managed to get through the day without a total meltdown. It's a good thing I'm going to be away from there for over a week, I think. One of my staff is fighting some of the procedural changes (going to a new lab service, changing over to computer based charting) with incredibly effective passive aggression and I am beating my head against the wall trying to do my job in the face of this resistance. Pray for her, will you?
I'm calming down a bit after a good night's sleep and time with my hubby. Still I just realized how out of it I really am when I had a way out of line reaction to a random trigger. I really need to offer some of this up. Would you all pray for me please? We're flying out Tuesday. Flying in to Nashville, driving from there down to Memphis to our eldest daughter's place. Then Wednesday morning up to Lexington KY to my sister's and to visit my 91 y/o grandmother who is visiting my sister for a few weeks. Then back to Memphis to drop off daughter. Then (hopefully) down to tour EWTN and visit the shrine. Then back to Memphis for one last visit with dd and then back to Nashville to fly home. Haven't had any nibbles from fellow bloggers looking to try to meet up. Oh well. I guess that will have to wait for a Texas trip.
In case you are curious - the trigger for my snark attack this morning? It was seeing a writer who really should know better confuse discreet and discrete. Then reins and reigns. I really need to join a support group for recovering editors! And maybe I need to eat breakfast before hitting the blogs.........

Sharing your snarkiness this mornin', sistah! Though mine is due to The Man's dealings with my Rose as well as some determined "weasling" on their part. More about that on my blog later ... but I feel your pain because it just filters down to other things until I realize I've got to get a grip!
And, you just say you're comin' anywhere NEAR Dallas and I am so THERE! Ok?

Sounds like vacation can't come soon enough.
Bless you and have FUN! (And I'll pray for your passive aggressive type.)
