TONGUE OUT

Today IG told me of an observation she made about me.
She said whenever I was concentrating very hard on something, be it the taking of minutes or actively listening to someone, I would stick a little bit of my tongue out.
I just thought she was crazy and brushed it aside.
I went about doing my work and out of no where, she popped up in front of my cubicle and exclaimed "THERE! Right there. You did it again."
and you know what. I did. I did not even know I was doing it.
Gee Whiz..
I must have been influenced by Mike himself when I was young.
He made me "what I am" today. :)

The Cubicle Man - Lesson Four

I am angry.
I am the recipient of an email which pretty tells of my utter lack of control of a particular situation.
I have resisted the urge to reply with a lengthy email filled all sorts of colorful language.
But I am still angry.
I want to put the project first so I am going to contain my anger.
I am going to understand the situation and focus on getting some solutions.
I cannot allow my anger to manifest because I understand that the project comes first.
I am however, still rather angry.
I will allow myself to be.
Just for a while.
In the confines of my home.
But come tomorrow, I will put my game face on.
Suck all my negative emotions in.
And
Find some much needed answers.
