Ooops! I Slipped!

We all slip.  It can be disappointing, but it's not the end of the world.  That's what I'm telling myself today.    Because I slipped.

My self challenge of having a better mental attitude at work went down the drain today.  Another of my team called out sick.  Because I didn't complete all of Monday's tasks, I was starting the day behind the 8-ball, and another call out just added to it.  I could barely hold my thoughts behind the tongue I was biting all day long. 

Even the customers were getting on my nerves today!  I was trying to straighten up the clearance aisle (because that's my task 3xday) and a very inconsiderate customer parked her cart in the middle of the aisle halfway down.  So I did what I could up to where she was but she didn't look like she was going to budge.  So I finally grabbed my equipment and headed back to grab more items for clearance.  When I got back to my clearance aisle, she was gone and I let out a huge sigh of relief.  But that relief only lasted about minutes before she came back.  With her adult daughter pushing a second cart.  They both parked again and just stood there.  Again, I worked as far as I could, then grabbed my equipment and headed to the back again.  I was so frustrated by this point that I grabbed my Kindle and headed out the door, walked across the parking lot, and headed to Wendy's for lunch!  

I decided to leave the clearance aisle until I get back to it on Thursday!!!  

Some days, I just can't seem to keep my mind on the part of mental attitude where I don't get upset over specifics!  Yes.  Some days are harder than others, and we all slip now and then.   And because I slipped, I'm not going to feel guilty, I'm just going to try to make the next day a better day!
