So what was the meeting at work all about?

And just so you know, I did see the pic that you referenced. I just kind of refuse to give that one any more attention!

Re: Doris!

  • lol...well as it turns out the CEO of the company, who hasn't known my name in 5 years, suddenly realized that I am, and I quote, "the most angry person" to attend this listening session they had last week (150+ employees).  I had piped up about the new computers that they bought us (which lock up and need to be forced to shut down at least once a day) and the lack of transparency about all the changes coming down (budget cuts, program changes, etc).  Apparently, I came across as really upset.  Thing is, it was a large group of people, I was a little nervous, I tend to talk fast and I was talking loud, which I get can come across as aggressive.

    Anyway, I reassured him that I'm not angry and I really love working from home, regardless of the technology issues. I also pointed out all the good things I've done to make positive changes for the whole company and made suggestions for things they could easily implement to help all of the clinical staff. 

    And I agree about the other! Stick out tongue

  • Lol! Well, I am glad that it worked out for you! I was curious as to the nature of why it was being called but it doesn't sound too bad (other the whole "most angry person" thing-ha!).

  • It was fine (thank goodness, I thought I was going to puke walking into his office!).  I work with a nurse and she is now calling me Angry J and told me she's going to make a Angry Bird type game for me! Another co-worker is planning to make me an award for being the angriest person alive.  Best part is, I was horribly bitter and angry a year ago, but now I'm all "it's cool, I'm chill, I love what I do" so the timing is fun!!
  • Ha! I love it! Now I just have to get JM around here so he can hear this story. Maybe he will recommend that you go to anger management counseling with me!

    I seriously die laughing every.single.time.

    ETA: apparently you can't search the video I linked, you have to use the linky to see it. It must be some secret, social work thing lol. However, I can vouch that it is a safe linky. My computer has only crashed 5 times since I watched it (joke).

  • lmfao....uhhhh, I'm nodding and laughing the whole time!! I had to send to my co-workers!

    P.S. One time I crashed my work computer because I clicked on a link to look at tour dates for some punk band.  Thank goodness the IT guys have a good sense of humor!
