It Was a Crappy Day



Today was kind of a crappy day. You all know what I mean, it was cold, it rained, and nothing at work went right. It was the kind of day you just want to bitch about. We all have these kinds of days, and we all like to bitch about them.






A guy on my crew was in just this kind of mood, when he commented to me that today was a crappy day. Just then a thought occurred to me that I voiced out loud to him. “There are a lot of people in the ground, that wish they had a crappy day like this.”






So, it is, we all have crappy days, interspersed with good ones; but the fact is, we have days, and we should enjoy them all. So, life is not a bed of roses, but it is better than having no life at all. I believe my comment, as morbid as it was, helped brighten the day of my co-worker, and made him think.






I hope I did the same for you.

Hi Seductress! You have been going through a rough stretch of karma lately. I have been trying to comment on your site , my phone can't do it. Try to be strong and keep a good attitude, you will work through it. My best to you.

I had a co-worker who was the most negative person on the planet. Every day she was complaining about something stupid. It was finally starting to drag me down so I lit into her. I don't think she realized how negative she was being. From then on all I had to say to her was "is there anything else you'd like to bitch about today?" (with a smile) and she'd smile and say, "Nope, I think I got it out of my system!" and we'd laugh. Some people just need to be shocked out of their own negativity.

Hi PWT! I think we all are guilty of being too negative...until we stop and think about how blessed we are to just be alive. It makes all of our problems seem less imporant.

Hi Ashley! This is one of my less whiny pieces, it is actually the guy on my crew who was whining.
