I hope everybody survived Hurricane Sandy & prepared well for this current noreaster, we're enduring. My daughter, Sasha & I are currently @ McCloone's utilizing their Wi Fi. We didn't have power for an entire week & when we finally were up & running our cable & Wi Fi was knocked out. So, here we are, Sasha: writing a paper for grad school & me: blogging. I was off for 7 beautiful days, in which I enjoyed spending time with my brats & my Mami. So, as for the title for this entry: When I returned to work, & have been for the past 6 days, one of my colleagues pulled me aside & told me about myself. I was so glad that she approached me personally & privately & am grateful that she addressed her concerns directly to me & not go behind my back! People who have problems with me, should address me, I am approachable. I never said I was perfect!
My colleague, says to me, "I know you have a good heart & you're a genuine person, but there are times when your humor is inappropriate", I responded by saying, "First, I want to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you came to me."Of course, I apologized to her, & hugged her & asked her specifically what behavior she wanted me to stop. I winded up calling her when I was working on this entry to apologize again & tell her about this entry.
I know that I am not perfect, and I am a work in progress. As I evolve to the best I can be, it doesn't hurt for people to tell me what areas I need improving. As a mother of 5 kids I have the tendency to shelter them. As a daughter, I am always trying to appease my mother. As a friend, I am always trying to help others. As a single, divorced woman, I suck @ attracting somebody worthy. As a Leo, I will never give up. As a worker, I always work hard. and because of my personality I am outspoken & have a wicked sense of humor. As a woman, mom, & daughter, I am an emotional being; because I love hard, care dearly & aim to please!
