You know I had a breakthrough today. I realized that sometimes people just say mean things for now reason. And I guess my break through is that this fact is more their problem then mine. When someone snaps at you, and puts you down for whatever reason. I realize that my boss is one of these people. He's a fun person, but occasionally I'll be doing nothing in particular and he'll shut me down for little to no reason. I don't think he's a bad person, and maybe it's just that my wit in the language we speak together (His native language not mine) is not quick enough to trade back and forth with him. But this would have really gotten me down before and really activated my anxiety and send me spiraling for the day. But you know what, screw that, I'm having an alright day, and I'm not gonna let it be ruined by some off hand comment.

I guess that's the thing I learned today. People's bad mood, and snappy comments are not gonna effect my bad mood and comments.

[update] While thinking about this I kind of came to the conclusion that maybe I should leave this environment behind. Maybe it's time to consider my employment options, not in the immediate short term, but for the future.
