Today was one of those days... we've all had them. It's those days that you feel like no matter what you do it's not good enough. That someone always wants more from you and you're to blame for every little thing that went wrong. My day started with a meeting that I basically felt like I was being told how to do my job. I got done with that meeting and was pulled into another meeting where I was basically told that the Customer Service Team said that it was my fault that they weren't able to close some tasks or that they were having customer service issues. When in all reality everything that was brought up to me I told my boss where in the system you could find the notes of what I had done or what I needed to be able to complete a project or a task. I am sick and tired of the finger pointing the the fact that no one else wants to take responsibility for their own mistakes. I work hard at what I do. I try to make sure that everything I do is documented and take everything very personally. I've been told that I take things too personal but when you're talking about my job and what I do that's a part of me! So tonight we got home from work. We finally had a nice day weather wise and I really wanted to take advantage of it. I had bought four bags of mulch a few weeks ago when we had a nice day, but then it got cold and rainy so they sat there. Today I decided to spread it out. Troy asked what he could do and I suggested that he make dinner. He asked me what was planned and I said grilled chicken and some sort of vegetable. He decided on potatoes. I came in from spreading the mulch and he asked if I was going to go to Best Buy and I said I didn't really feel like it so he said so don't! Just relax. Huh?! What?! Just relax?! So I poured a glass of wine and settled in on the couch while he made dinner. What a great job he did! The chicken was still juicy and the potatoes were perfect! I don't know if maybe it was the wine, or maybe it was just the fact that I didn't have to cook but it was definitely a great end to a crappy day.

Maybe it was the Wine??
