I could say that today was a bad day.? It would be easy enough to dwell on the fact that I very easily could have been fired and, had I had any other job prospects, probably would have quit at one point.? I could say that the powers that be saw fit to, for no other reason than to keep up appearances, to give us an additional five hours worth of work.? Like I said, I could dismiss the entire day as having been a bad one.? I could make a decent case for the week.

But sitting here in my apartment at the end of the day, I can see that it wasn’t all bad.? All of these events events only encompassed a few hours, and though I’ll have to to repeat part of it daily, it truely wasn’t that bad and there were good parts as well.

The specific moments that led up to my nearly getting myself axed even netted some positive results.? I sat down with my manager and we had a real heart to heart about things and our working relationship.? I apologized for my part and she for hers, and I can honestly say that we’ll work better together for it.? I got to spend some time with my agents and I managed to keep my cool most of the day no matter how hectic things got.

So I’m choosing to say that today was a good day.
