Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

A Minor Incident

September 30, 2004 - 11:16pm

him: “I'm really my mother trapped in my body.”

me: “You know, it's a little awkward for me if I spend all this time flirting with you and you are actually a woman.”

him: “There's nothing wrong with a little girl-on-girl action!”

Today was strange and fun and weird and fantastic and stressful and long.

My boss, after talking to me about scheduling, was walking away and turned back for a moment just to say, “Good work today, by the way.”

“Thank you!”

I suddenly realized I was glowing. A little hard-earned praise goes such a long way with me for some reason.

I think I like the attention.

I stayed at work pretty late today, finishing some things up, and walked home in the cool night with my headphones on. I tend to complain a lot, but it was actually pretty wonderful.

It's the simple things sometimes.

Its not a minor incident! Getting praise at work is a VERY big deal. Or maybe it is to me because I work in a shit hole with no positive reinforcement or any kind of feedback on a job well-done. So, glow in your "good job," dammit! Beam in the light that some of us are unable to recieve.

Tom Cruise's character in Vanilla Sky said..."The little things... there's nothing bigger, is there?" And I believe a truer statment has never been said. Long live the simple things!
