Tonight,I am feeling okay.The work day went by smoothly but during the lunch hour,something happened that I was not prepared for.I was called by the social club coordinator into a back room when one of the social club members complained about me informing another staff person about her not recording her time off one of the internet computers,which is one of the rules of the social club regarding the internet computers(there are two)because of some of the stuff that has happened on them.I was trying to reduce conflict around the place by informing staff rather than taking the matter in my own hands and risking tempers flaring from members.As I have previously reported on here,there have been many numerous instances where pornography has been found in the internet history on the main internet computer in the front room where most of the members sit around and chit-chat.There has been some found during the time periods that I have been on and I knew perfectly well that I have not logged on to any of those.Apparently,the lady got a little upset when I was only trying to do what was right and save us from any form of finger pointing which can lead to conflicts.But she grabbed the wrong edge of the stick and got in a tizzy.But we did come to a resolution about it.She said that she would appreciate if I would remind her to record time off or even on and off in the near future rather than tell a staff person about it and risk hurting other's feelings.I agreed because I did not want any more arguments or even worse,tempers flaring for no particular reason at all.There is no reason or excuse for tempers to start flaring.I mean,people at times have a right and/or reason to be angry but tempers really do not need to be flared at all.
This experience confirms what I have been learning.Each and every day is a test to my abilities to keep my temper under control and not to lose my cool under any circumstances.But again,day after day,I am learning that each day is a new test to my abilities to keep my cool.Lately,according to the compliments that I have been getting from those around work and the social club,I have been doing great in keeping my temper under control and staying cool.But as stated,each and every day is a new test and so far,according to those around me,I have been passing every test.But again,each day is a new beginning and a new test.If I can get through one day without losing my temper and getting angry,GREAT.But there is always the next day and the day after that and so on.
Not only that,I was also having difficulties getting my safety belt on when I was trying to get to work today.I tried to pull it out to wear it as part of the law in New York state.But I couldn't get it to make it work for a while.I did call my mechanic's garage and they simply told me to wing it until I could get some info on replacing it.Fortunately,it did start to work later but I had to start driving in order to get it to work.Hopefully,I can get this matter resolved and I hope that it will not be too expensive.
Tomorrow is another work day.I am hoping that the shift goes by well.After what happened today,I am going to need a smooth work shift.After that,it's the weekend and I will be doing my usual singing up a storm for my friends when the weekend begins.
That was my day today and my hoped for day tomorrow.FJ
