New fortunes...

From Bona

Mine: "To affect the quality of the day is no small achievement."
Michelle's: "Don't waste time on what might have been."
Lisa's: "Suspense is exciting. I hope it lasts."


Now I'm going to apply these into each of our lives.

As for me, I was having a really grumpy day at work on Tuesday. I was supposed work 4-7, but Joe wanted to switch his closing shift with mine. I agreed as long as there would be enough pearls and royal tea when I got in. There were, but I should have clarified that I need an extra batch of each since it is frustrating to have to make more during the middle of a closing shift....Not only that, but I found it really annoying when one of my coworkers kept talking over me, didn't communicate very clearly, therefore I accidentally started pouring a drink in the wrong cup, she said something very condescending to me, snatched the cup away, and threw it away. The rest of the night I was nearly fuming. I had a great day up until then. I kept trying to change my attitude, but it was hard. After thinking about it when I got home, I made up my mind to not let it ruin my whole day. This fortune will be something I must remind myself of whenever I run into this sort of circumstance. I so easily fall into a bad mood when I'm treated without respect. Lesson learned? Hopefully.

As for Michelle, well... one word: Lynne. I know you are upset about the turn of events. I only know your side of the story, but please know that it never helps to agonize over the past. However, I do see that have moved on somewhat since you don't talk about it so much now. If I may offer you advice, I'd say to be the better person. When you see her, just treat her like you would an old friend. It would come as a surprise. And who knows? Maybe she's not out to get you. I haven't seen her making a scene when she sees you.

As for Lisa, k,..... so obvious. You have boy drama goin' on like crazy. Like, how many boys can chase after one girl? I don't know. But you sure have a lot. And chose the nice one!!! AWWWW He will treat you with so much respect. But, of course, you are at the "suspenseful" stage. The stage where feelings have not officially been declared. And you freaking can't keep your mind off of him! We will just have to wait and see what happens.
