Fabulous Friday

Friday is going to be my "happy post" day - and what better week to start it than when my happy post goes right along with my Thursday rant? How can this be, you ask? Because while my job does kinda suck right now, I have some amazing/crazy/fun co-supervisors and we have a pretty badass fearless leader.

The agenda for our sups meeting today had approximately 538 items. About two of them were happy. Yet somehow, I came away from the meeting/day feeling a lot better about my job. More overwhelmed. Definitely more stressed out. Added several things to my to-do list. But overall, it was a great day. A good meeting with fun people. It sounds cheesy, I know - but even, or maybe especially, in crappy times, it is really, really nice to be able to come away feeling good.

I don't have much to compare it to - seven years is the longest commitment I've ever made to anything, let alone a job. I've worked at the same agency, in the same department, my entire "adult"/post-college life. I have even had the same supervisor the entire time. I've loved and hated the job (and my boss - just kidding!) during the last seven years... wanted to scream, cry, quit... but I know what I do makes a difference. And I know a big part of that is the people I'm surrounded by - my crew, my co-sups, and my boss make the bad days easier and the fun times WAY better.

So, fools - here's to you.
