I just had the weirdest thing happen to me. I'm sure it has happened to many others before.
I came in to work this morning and wanted to relate my experience of the night before. I had received a phone call from a co-worker who wasn't in the office a the moment. I begin to tell my boss about the call and SHE interrupts ME to interject her experience of the same issue the night before and she goes on to tell me how a certain person needs to really answer their phone and yadda, yadda. I try to finish what I was saying to complete the original thought I was expressing and my boss, I kid you not, does her impression of a 4 year old shaking her fists up and down saying I need to stop interrupting her.
Excuse me?
Wasn't I interrupted in the first place?
Did I react negatively as you interrupted me? No.
So, I have a feeling I will get an email today telling me how rude I am. This would be the second such email in two weeks if it occurs. Which it has not at this point.
I always thought communication, which is what my boss said that the person she was complaining that never answered their phone lacked, the ability to communicate, was supposed to be. It is a give and take. You talk. I talk. And that is communication.
You don't interrupt people and go on and on so you can get your own point across. That is not communication. That is a need to be seen. A need to be heard. And not necessarily by me, but by someone she is not currently being heard by.
I understand this.
I just hope this issue doesn't get me fired since I am basically a workaholic and they all know it. I work dang hard, and being stressed just comes with the grind of daily deadlines. But I somehow manage to not go insane.
I read. I cross-stitch. I watch tv just to zone out. And this interrupts the flow of all the negative vibes that are thrown at me each day.
We all go through this sort of give and take.
So, remember to clear yourself. Shield yourself with the white light of the divine. Imagine it all around you. Imagine that all the negativity that is a constant flow around you just bounces off that divine white shield and does not effect you. Feel the peace this knowledge brings.
I hope today brings you a day of peace and un-interruption.
Blessings.
