Today was a rough day at work. I got injured a couple of weeks ago moving an item at the store. Ever since people have treated me differently, badly. It is really starting to get on my nerves. I still do far more than most anyone else in the department, I just can not lift, push, or pull more than 20 pounds of weight or risk further injury.
Today was particularly frustrating because my boss keeps asking me to do things which will include lifting or pushing and pulling considerably more than 20lbs. Not only was it asking me to ignore my injury, it was pulling me off the sales floor where I could no longer make sales (the only way I get paid). I made one comment about it and I find out later from another co-worker that people I thought of as friends are talking bad about me behind my back because I am apparently just lazy and do not want to do anything. Again, I was running around doing things and they were sitting on their butts….
It just really upset me… and I was explaining it all to Jenny when she asked why I do so much more than everyone else. Including other’s work. All I could answer was that when I start thinking about simply refusing like the others I hear one question in my head. “Who are you serving?”
Even if it is not required I always try and do better and more because its right, because it is what I want my character to be…
I know I should do everything without complaining, but I am not there yet.
Anyway, as I came home I went into the room with my computer and sat for a moment or two in the dark when Jenny came in… I came to my computer because I wanted to be calm, quiet, and alone. Strangely I didn’t mind her being there… or not so strangely. I am blessed to have such a wonderful wife that I find such a great comfort.
And so I wanted to share a picture of her, Sammy, and her Granny.
