Office Headaches

In all of the jobs I have had, I have been lucky and have gotten along with pretty much everyone. I can only remember two people I had a difficult time working with, and it wasn’t really that bad. Well it seems that my luck has run out, and I find myself in the middle of working with someone very difficult. It’s not that she isn’t a nice person, just we have very different personalities (mainly I’m organized and a planner and she’s more of a last-minute/frenzy person). Add in two very stressful simultaneous week-long conferences my company is hosting, and life around the office becomes very tense.

After I was about to rip my hair out at 9am (after having been at work for 2 hours already and 11 hours yesterday), I had this online conversation with Ben:

Me - So frustrated…blah…blah…She’s an idiot…blah…blah…blah…
Ben - :(
Me - It’s ok. :) I am strong.
Ben - :) I know you are!

And with that I feel better. I am smiling, taking a deep breath, and will survive the week!
