It's Sunday night and I am watching a movie. I remember in years past having anxiety about going to work on Monday, because ...well, I don't know why....maybe a shitty boss, shitty company, shitty job...whatever. Now - I could give a crap. I will watch Gladiator (a movie I have seen a dozen times), watch the news, and go to bed. I won't spend more time thinking about work than I did in the sentence above.
Because I just don't give a crap. I will work hard and do my best, which I do every day - that is my own personal standard. But I am not paid to care. after all, (as you know from signing a document when you start work) Illinois is an at will state, and you can be terminated at any time. Well, I can quit caring at any time too. Which I have done. Because we are conditioned to be that way.
and, of course, caring is the first step toward being frustrated and angry. which I cannot do, since tomorrow is scheduled to be the best day of my life. and it will be. because I will not ruin it by caring about a job that does not care about me.
See how easy that is? I should write a book....oh that's right - I am. although I think the professional library series I have in mind would not sell to well to the big companies I would need to sell to.
ok folks - make it a good week. and if it is not the best week of your life, shame on you. it is probably because you care too much.
