I use my red underwear – literally.

Day 18 of 30 – Bonus – No Complaining

Day 8 of 30 – No Complaining
I can’t say that I was perfect. Man-o-man did I slip up more than once. I caught myself on the phone complaining to a co-worker about my salary. With so many people losing their jobs, I decided to stop myself in mid-sentence and I changed the topic. It may not be the perfect job, but at least I work with good people.
No complaining has been harder than I expected because it’s a part of how I communicate with my co-workers. I don’t think all complaining is bad – far from it. The reason I started this 30 day trial was to become more aware of my thoughts and actions and see if I might want to implement “no complaining” into the rest of my life.

Day 1of 30 – No complaining
My first day of no complaining went well. My mood was especially chipper. I wasn’t surprised by this because I could tell that I was on a mission. I wasn’t going to succumb to the temptation of whining/complaining.

I whined that I wasn’t able to finish my thought. I didn’t let my boss hear my complaint, it was just under my breath, but alas it was still there.

So Your Boss Spits When He Yells
The spit comes flying out
of his mouth,
splashing on to his desk.
He doesn’t even have the decency to stand up.
His fat tired legs are tired of making an effort.
Funny thing is he doesn’t have a problem yelling at you until his veins turn red to purple.
He’s pissed because of
a mistake you made.
Encouragement isn’t in his vocabulary.
