Thankful Thursday, trying to stay positive
Wow where do I begin. Thursday just kind of snuck up on me. And I do want to participate in Thankful Thursday.
1. I am thankful for having a job however I just spend three days in class listening to everyone complain about their job. Obviously others where I work don’t share my enthusiasm for having a great paying job. Obviously $24.00 an hour isn’t enough to sit in an air conditioned classroom eating free snacks and sodas and listening to someone tell you how something works. But I am thankful.
2. I am thankful that while I was in class these past few days someone made some changes to the schedule I have been working on for the past 8 months. Unfortunately, they didn’t know what they were doing and they ruined my schedule, causing me to do major rework. And the outage that I wrote the schedule for….It starts tomorrow. No biggie, I have a backup. And I am thankful.
3. I am thankful for the opportunity to make lots of money. I will be working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next two weeks. It will allow me to pay all my taxes so the government can spend it on really important things. At least I have a job. Keep telling me that.
4. I am thankful for a comfortable chair. My back is killing me because I pushed myself really hard last night at spin class in an effort to reduce some stress. I had to skip the gym this morning to try and recover. Repeat after me;“Pain builds character, pain builds character, pain builds character.”
5. I am thankful for a very thoughtful blogger award that I got from Kat over at Heart2Heart. At the moment I don’t have the time to pass it along (see #2 above) so I will give it to everyone who visits me on a regular basis. Thanks Kat.
Have a great day,
Greg

So glad you had a backup...i've done scheduling b4 and i hated it...very stressful
You have a GREAT job and ARE GETTING GREAT pay...thankfulness is a good thing
You are such an encouragement with your diligence in spin class...i do a recumbent...that spins stuff amazes me. “Pain builds character, pain builds character, pain builds character.”
Love me som Heart2Heart also...she's a dear with a BIG HEART!
Just remember tomorrow is Friday! woo!
Hope your back feels better hon!
Thanks for the post.
Get rested up!
You are a class act. You truly know where the blessings are! You are one amazing man and you are right. Just to have a roof over my head, food I can eat for today and a place to lay my head is enough for me. Anything above and beyond that is blessings beyond measure.
Congratulations for accepting your award! You are more than a friend but part of Steve and I's family now. Just keep on smiling!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Keep repeating to yourself, this too shall pass!!
Have a Blessed & Joyfilled weekend :)
Have a great weekend!
People do take their jobs and paychecks for granted and now that I am not working (praise HIM!) I realize that I was guilty of that sometimes.
Have a great and blessed weekend.
I've been sick with flu-like symptoms and a backache so I know how you feel. Hope you're all better soon!
You have a GREAT paying job, and btw, you are deserving of the thoughtful blogger award...you're one of the sweetest guys I know!
Such a difficult work environment you are in. Be sure to take little moments for yourself throughout your day. Little Coffee Breaks (No coffee required). Perhaps you could just walk outside and let the sun warm your face for 5 minutes. it will rejuvenate you and give you the energy to stay positive.
Hoping you have a peaceful weekend,
Sonya
Good luck working those crazy hours and recovering from the character building pain!
Hey, could I get $24. an hour to sit in a classroom and eat free snacks? I'll even bring my own drink!
Pain builds character.
Pain builds character.
Pain builds character......
Hope you get some rest and your back quits hurting before your long 2 weeks.
Take Care Greg
and...as always,
Keep the Faith!
