I loathe nothing more than a sick coworker. Anyone else?

Purell. Lysol. Sani-Wipes. These are the things I covered my little area of our office in. Well, the Purell was for my hands, but you get the point. I have a boss that refused to take a sick day or two when he had over 500 hours accrued. He also refused to cover his mouth most times or wash his hands. And here I am having to touch paper and surfaces that he infected. Now I sit at home with a pounding head, sore throat, blocked sinuses, and I can’t stop coughing. I think my head may explode at times. If you are sick, especially if you have the time, stay the f**k home! For everyone’s sake.

So, incoming–my new GearBubble, RedBubble, and Teespring Stores! They are going to be filled with sassy, quirky sayings plastered on mugs, shirts, and more. I’ll have my author mugs on there as well.

When it feels like you’re being singled out…

Everyone makes mistakes.

We all try not to make errors at work, but sometimes it happens no matter how hard we work to prevent them. My position is a busy one and I am often given more work than my counterparts at other offices. We are busier, therefore, we have the opportunity to make more mistakes.

Does caring too much lead to dissatisfaction?

I care too much.

I care too much about what people think of me.

I care too much about how fair things are.

I care too much about how I am seen and how I perform at my job.

I think all this caring doesn’t lead to a better me but to a sadder, more depressed me–to a continually dissatisfied me. What do you think?

Another Year – Keep Going

As everyone around the world is either getting ready to celebrate the new year or has already celebrated, I am sitting here by myself contemplating what’s next for 2017.

Skillcrush Review (Web Designer Blueprint)

I have finished the Skillcrush Web Designer Blueprint a few months ago and have decided to give you all my review. I am doing this review on my own, I did not receive any compensation or discount to take the course or review it. 

Depression is a Real Illness

The mental health issues in this country (U.S.) seem to be getting worse and worse. Everyday you hear horrible stories of people getting murdered, getting abused, or committing suicide.

Even in this day and age, openly talking about mental issues is taboo or just not talked about. I wish more people would just start talking and maybe, just maybe, people would realize it is not a personal failure to have depression, anxiety, or any mental illness and talking about it is not only ok, but helpful.
