A Trying Day

Today was one of those 'want to get up and quit' days. Honestly today's events were very trying and tested my tolerance, and I was seriously contemplating quitting, even writing a letter of resignation and just leaving it on my bosses desk! That's how fed up I was today with the miscommunication that happens quite often between us. In the midst of this event I had the opportunity to talk with a friend to help me retain some sanity without doing something I might later regret, since it was obviously an impulsive desire to just leave. It truly helps just giving and getting input from someone else as opposed to being all alone in utter frustration. I was very thankful.

Well thank God little by little we resolved all the miscommunication and got all the specs and details laid out right and cut out today. And in fact by the end, things were very good again, also partly due to the fact that she did voice the fact that we can both lack communication and need to make a great effort sometimes to be on the same page. And yes, I do realize she has enough on her mind as it is getting jobs for us, going to meetings, appointments, and on top of that she's in the midst of moving, which has been a nightmare for her sometimes due to many an incompetent contractor who have done less than satisfactory work on her new home. I'm sure that's been very frustrating, especially when you just wish you had your bed to sleep in! So after thinking on all these things I've realized that there is still work to do on my end of both communicating and clarifying the details of each project, and also of consideration and concern. I thank God and those He has put in my path to help me realize these things. =)
