Thank you, luvmygirls. Today, that sobriety is being tested, with stress. In the past, stress has been a huge motivator for my drinking. Sort of like, I'm an adult, I'm stressed, so this bottle of merlot is justified. As we all know, booze is a depressant, so we know that it truly is not helping.
I had a rough morning full of people who refuse to problem solve for themselves, fires to be tended to, and trying to figure out what I'm doing today. I've got this. I'm turning my frown upside down, I'm sending short apology emails to a few people I was a complete goblin 🐉 to. I'm not great with immediate stress, which is precisely why I don't work patient reception any more. Plus many folks don't like using their brains and rely on others for the immediate answer. Y'all, stop, think, and try to figure out the problem before going to someone else for the easy out. Let's use our noggins.
