Some new some Same Old

So, this year, I am back full time. It's a bit of a challenge, but in that amusing karmic way the universe operates, it's come at a good time (down turn in the logging industry = my husband gainfully unemployed). It's going quite well, all things considered, and I have taken over the IT department, teaching 6 blocks of IT and one of Math. Which brings me to today's story.....

I was upbraided (rather thoroughly) for the first time by the Prince for an email I sent to the tech department. Prince thought I undermined him and said I was Pissing Them Off with my "constant" ranting. Naturally, I disagree with all this, but that's irrelevant.

I noticed two things about my reaction to this incident. I knew I was "right", although I certainly could afford to look at my behaviour. I also realized that this Prince was just like all the others- his own agenda, his own power-grab, his own "size issues". I was mad, and vented a little to a couple of staff members

Then I got over it.

I don't define myself according to what others think of me anymore, especially Authority Figures. I care what my peers and friends think, but mostly I care what I think.

Will I change my "email rants" behaviour? Sure. Will I change myself? nahhhhhh (-:
