Not losing my temper completely at work and quiting. I have been working so hard, extra hours, pushing myself to get this huge project done. Not one person in the supervisor group, oh I have 4 supervisors, said a word to me. No recognition, no acknowledgement, not even a "okay, good, here is some more work." NADA.
But you know what did happen. The laziest person in the office, the one that comes in late every day, the one that balances her checkbook, breaks into tears at least once a week because of some personal issue, one of the few senior members in the dept with no responsibilty assigned to her got an award. Not just an award, a breakfast along a few others in the company, and a gift for being such an outstanding employee.
It was very hard for me to watch. I am not one that usually seeks recognition, even I do something above and beyond my normal work. I get embaressed very easily. And yet, that really stung.
Everyone in the office had the mini tantrums.
I just congratulated her, asked one of my supervisors for another project, smiled and was very cheerful.
Why? Because I know in my heart I don't really answer to my employer for my hard work. I answer to God. He knows what a good job I am doing and when it comes down to it. That is more than fine with me.
And it would have been great to go out after work and eat junk food to make myself feel better, or so I thought ,when I left work.
Instead I worked out.
Stuck with my routine and treated myself to a nice low carb hot cocoa with a shot of caramel extract.
What have you done today that made you feel proud??
...oh and did I mention the fried apple pie he ate afterwards??? 
Time to go shower off the sweat!!
for living that in front of her 
Sounds like you're doing a great job modeling healthy living for your daughter.
