So I go into the office today...Monday, ugh.  The office is being remodeled starting tonight so there was a bunch of moving computers and phones for me to do today.  There was stuff going on, busy. 

For some reason EVERYONE was in a really good mood and I'll admit it made me have a really good day.  People were talking to me like they used to, there were smiles and laughs and the work was getting done, it was...fun.

Feeling pretty good I even went in by the owner and said "Hey you know that I wasn't interviewing Friday, right?".  He said "Yeah I found that out but you had us worried there for a while, I mean (your boss) was sweating bullets when I talked to him about it.  I found out you had a meeting with (client) from (other boss), but before that I didn't know what was going on.".  So I said "Yeah, after the last client meeting someone told me I needed to step it up a bit for offsite meetings, so I went for it."   

You see??  You see??  I DO listen to what I'm told. 

So then he says that I looked nice Friday and we joked about how the people I saw were having a casual Friday, and I kind of felt a little over dressed and he said yeah, you never know what you're gonna get.

A little while later an email goes out congratulating me on a certification we all have to do and asking people to thank me for "all I do".  I passed the thing a few weeks earlier and it's not a big deal, but as people are passing these things, emails go out to everyone kind of celebrating another certified staff member.  When I passed mine no one said or did anything.  Well, I did get a good job reply on the email I sent to let the boss know I'd passed, but it wasn't the same thing everyone else "got".  To be honest with you, this is such a stupid little thing, but it kind of hurt my feelings.  I had told two people at work about it a few days ago, and now there's this email that was a little bit more.  Thank her for all she does.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the timing I mean between the interview thing and the email.  I don't know and I don't really care...it's not worth putting much thought into.  The truth is that we all know that I have been feeling a little down about the work relationships, it made me paranoid, and now in one day everyone is really nice to me again, the owner let me know that if I were interviewing it would bother him and someone knew that my stupid little accomplishment was overlooked and made it right.

The grapevine heard that Meka needs some love and I feel better.  A lot better and I hope it stays that way.  I don't like being negative or guarded, I don't wear it well, it's not me.
