Belated Post for Wednesday: Good News and Bad News

Yesterday was a great day and a weird day.  I walked into the office and found good news: the network was back up and bad news: a threatening email from my boss.  She accused me of insubordination because I did not respond to two emailed requests for an opinion on whether we should accept walk-ins.  Here's are the problems with her accusation:

1. Her initial email had no deadline.
2. She sent the second request on Friday.  I don't work on Fridays.
3. The network went down over the weekend, so I didn't get the second request until after I got the threatening message.
4. In Tuesday's staff meeting, her second-in-command announced that a decision had been made and that we indeed would be accepting walk-ins.

So I wrote her back stating these things and gave her my opinion anyway.  She has not responded.

When I called my sponsor to check in last night, she pointed out that my response smacked of righteous anger.  And as we in the program know, we cannot afford righteous anger.  It leads straight back to a drink. I need to remember that in all my dealings with my boss; she is unpredictable.  The conversation with my sponsor went pretty late and I was too tired to blog, hence the late post.

So, let's talk health goals.  I did not exercise yesterday; I had a paper to finish for turn in at 6 p.m. so I got up early and went to the coffee shop to write.  I did track, stick to my points, and get 5 of 6 HCs.
