Okay, so its a brand new day and I know the frustration of not being able to concentrate at work, home... wherever. I battle it daily and have found a way that works for me, regardless of what I am trying to focus on. I tell myself.... I can do anything for 15 minutes. And I do. I clean my house in 15 minute increments, I work on projects in 15 minute increments, I even used to study in 15 minute blocks. For some reason it worked. I think it wasn't so overwhelming that it kept me from procrastinating. AND BELIEVE ME... I am Queen Procrastination. So pick something at work, anything. Give it 15 minutes and at the end of that 15, decide to do another 15. Before you know it, your work will be caught up, you'll have your cert, and it will be June and time to move on! Good Luck!

I think that not weighing the suggestions and comments of your fellow workers is an insanely bad idea. He should have at least gave it some thought. That tea you have sounds very nice. I love green tea with honey when I can have it. I have some that is peppermint flavored and it's one of my favorites. You've reminded me that I forgot to buy bananas today. I'll have to correct that tomorrow. I hope that you feel better emotionally and physically soon. As always my best wishes and thoughts are with you. I’m sorry about that manager.

Sometimes we're driven to distraction and need to get focused on what's important. Our well being. Now I'm distracted by my sexual needs and have completely lost focus of my heart, my work and my weight. Need to focus on the truly important goals. :) We'll get it together... just need to focus. xo Yep Iniya - I agree- distraction.

I have attended those skip level meetings. I have spoken or listened to others speak openly only to have the comments turned around and used against the speaker. I've seen managers blithely explain away issues. It is all an enormous waste of time and energy and an insult to one's intelligence. And yet, life goes on! People show up for work each day, business has a momentum of its own, and will keep running despite management (until one day....the sh*t eventually will hit the fan when things are out of balance - but it can take years). Glad that R. is away and you have breathing space. Focus on your goals, you'll get where you want to be. Good idea about the protein shake, you've got me thinking of looking for something like that for myself. Love, Ruby Whether in India, Africa or America, corporate is corporate.

Yes I agree it's frustrating to feel like you are not being listened to. Glad the new CEO seems more open. That green tea with mont sounds really yummy.
