Perspective

Good Morning!
(or is it?)

Woke up this morning feeling great!
(woke up this morning tired and hungover)

Drove into work with the radio on, singing along to my favourite songs...
(Oh Great! Another boring day at the Grindstone)
...knowing that I was going to be helping people today...
(why can't these people just remember their passwords?  It's not rocket science!)
...and the Sun is Shining :)
(and to cap it all, it's a lovely day out there and I'm stuck in here all day).

Got to work, put the coffee on... deep breath, ah nice!  Ready to GO!
(why is it always me has to put the coffee on?  Why can't someone else do it for a change?)

First caller of the day's so glad I sorted her IT problem out, now she feels happy, so I'm happy.
(I'm so sick of people ringing about their stupid problems! Waste of my time!)
Next caller is so grateful that I could help him, he emailed my boss to say I did a great job! Wow!!
(all I did was sigh, you'd think I swore at the caller.  I don't deserve a complaint for just sighing ffs)
Go for a walk in the sunshine at lunchtime...
(sit at my desk watching YouTube, but the phone keeps ringing...)
...and return refreshed, ready for the afternoon's work!
(grumpier than ever because I've not had a chance to have a break yet)
Work through my workload steadily, prioritised so the important stuff gets done first.
(can't be bothered, waste of time, what's the point)

Get home, hug family, welcome kisses, happy dog - tail wagging.
(ah home at last! Boy have I had a shit day! Get outta my way Rex! Stupid dog!)
Cook something nice for our dinner - I love cooking, providing tasty food for my family!
(why do I have to cook?  Been at work all day. Ah what the hell, fast-food'll do for tonight)
Sit with my family and watch a movie together, kids are messing about, we're all laughing about it.
(guts feel awful - bloated and uncomfortable. Shut up ffs, I'm trying to watch TV!)

Off to bed, nicely tired - I've had a good day!
(Think I'll just have another large one before the late night film ends)
