ambericaI have spent the last month or so just feeling cranky and out of place in my job, like I should be somewhere else, doing something completely different. I had been looking forward to my monthly 1-1 meeting with my boss so I could talk to him about this.
Then, here comes the meeting (today) and all I can do is gurgle and squee about how excited I am about the new office, how much I love html, and how happy I am in my position! ACK!! What the heck turned me into Pollyanna for chrissake?!? Gah. But now I actually do feel better. It's so weird. I think putting on a good attitude can actually make you FEEL better. Well, I know that's true. There have been brain scan studies done that prove just smiling can trigger the "happy" centers in your brain. It's like feeling happiness creating a smile on your face, only in reverse! And it works! I guess the same goes for speaking and acting in an optimistic and happy manner. Really. Since my surly dark days as a surly dark teenager, I have learned to act more happy and optimistic, and I really do FEEL more happy and optimistic! It's so great! Like, free magic happiness and satisfaction with life! Even forcing myself to see the bright side of things, say stuff like, "At least it wasn't XYZ - could be worse!" - has really helped me develop a more positive general attitude towards life.
Anyway, I did tell my boss that I hate hate HATE Windows SharePoint Services. At least I got that off my chest. He knows I hate it. Everyone hates it. But it feels good to say it out loud to the boss. ^_^
