I should not read work e-mails before 6 a.m. I am angry. Not mad. Angry.
So today I'm going to slip off into la-la land.
Today, I'm going to pretend:
1.) To think ass chewings solve everything.
After four years and every possible fluff HR training/coaching tactic known to man, some people still don't get it. They aren't going to get it. Nope. Never. Not ever.
All of this could have been avoided with an old fashioned ass chewing. I've been on the receiving end of a couple of AC's, and I count myself as lucky. I would even go as far to say that those AC's boosted me forward to any success that I might have achieved so far.
I feel very prepared to hand out the AC, trained & certified as they say; however, they don't work for me. I'm not authorized to do so. And those who are, well, probably have never received an AC. That is the problem. Maybe I'll volunteer my services.
2.) To think that it's summer.
Somewhere during my 20-mile ride in spin class this morning, I decided my anger issues weren't going to take me anywhere. So I decided to pretend that it was an August morning and that I was riding on that stretch between Amagansett and Montauk. I made it to the lighthouse - sweaty and all. It felt good.
Ok. Back to reality. I still want to chew them out. I know I'd feel better.
And I could still pretend it's summer.
