Thoughtful in Selah

Let's take a trip down a quite and peaceful path. The sun is high over head gently warming you and there is a lovely slight breeze that keeps you comfortable. As you are enjoying this moment, you begin to notice things that you do not appreciate. Personality traits are coming up that you do not like. Even though the day is beautiful and the setting is perfect, it is turning into something you hate because you are surrounded by pet peeves and bad characteristics. This is your journey into "Self Awareness".

Nice intro, huh? Anywho, I discovered something about myself yesterday that kind of irked me, and it's my own flaw too. I realized I'm bossy - to an extent. Now we all appreciate being able to give orders to other people and be in charge of a group or whatnot but sometimes I act a little to much on impulse. Maybe it's the thing that I know that I can do a job more professionally than someone else, so I tend to tell them how to do it. At the time I would say that I'm giving you tips and helping you, but that's just the nice way of me saying, "You're doing it wrong!". I think this is something I need to work on.

Here's one that everyone will agree to...
I'm very cynical.



'Nough said...


Issue three is one of those that every employer hears that is rarely true: I take on too many responsibilities. For some odd reason it all goes beyond the whole thing of "just saying 'No'". No for me, it's the thing of "STOP VOLUNTEERING!" When someone needs help, I'll usually say, "Oh, I can do that for you." or "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it". I think that has been happening alot lately. In one day alone, I had to take care of the following list between the times of 9:30 and 2:30 at school:

Fix the tricaster
Finish the Beauty and the Beast stuff
Burn a copy of "B&B"
return the DVD duplicator
give video DVD's to Mr. Nardecchia
Cleanup the TV Studio
Buy "The Cold War"
get my saxophone from the bandroom
fill out my A.P. Signup sheet and get it signed by the teacher
fill out my tablet project sheet
Cleanout my locker
take care of a teacher's old computer
delete old files off of 10 computers
burn a data DVD of my personal files at school to transport them home
cash checks at the bank
return some photos to another teacher after scanning them
capture, edit, and burn a movie for my science teacher.
cleanout the video storage room
run a video camera over to the EPAC

Think I did enough in four and a half hours?


This has been my self awareness lessen for the day.
