Today I was very excited to come in to work for many reasons, one it's Friday and well who doesn't love Friday's? And 2nd yesterday I had spend my day doing company Christmas cards and sending out the holiday bonus my boss gave out.
So I have to admit I was not expecting to have the kind of morning that I did. I get a call from our Boston location and the manager is just complaining about how the "bonus wasn't big enough and how they had too much taken out in taxes." I was flabbergasted the gwal of this guy!
We are living in a time where people don't have jobs and here he is complaining about not getting a big enough bonus. I was mad & the more I thought about it I became just flat out pissed off. All I could think of was that scripture Doctrine and Covenants 59:21 says, “And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things..."Earlier in the week I had been talking to Melissa and we were talking about the good ole days when we got nice bonuses but how we were just thankful to have a job.
I'm not saying that I am not ungrateful or a bit selfish at times, yes I am guilty of that myself. I think we all are, but today's event served as a reminder to me that I am so blessed in my life. I am thankful that I can see the hand of the lord in my life and in the life of others.
I had my little freak out and then decided that I was not going to let this ruin my day. I am still going to enjoy the Spirit of this wonderful Season. Now I am counting down for my day to be over so I can go hang out with Melissa and have our girls night out as we go check out the Christmas lights and displays.
