Pity Party Sans the Good Stuff

You have a crappy day at work. Say the supervisor you are training gets pissed at how you say something, and you are pissed at the fact she can't take the answer I give so she goes ballistic. Then the dispatcher trainee can't learn cause of the blow up (you were actually behaving on the second blow up). Then your boss asks can we talk. Gotta love it. Then you get to work two extra hours of OT. After being told that you should work so much, tell us what we can take off your plate. And oh, by the way, may you need to see an EAP (Employee Assistance Program aka a shrink).

Back in the day, I would have gone  home and drank a bottle of vodka. Or gone to hooters and had a carafe or two of white zin. Then I gave up alcohol. So I switched to drowning my sorrows in Coke or Dr. Pepper. And a bag of peanut M&M's, red licorice, Skittles or other confections.

So a month ago, I gave up soda and sugar. And tying one on with a raspberry flavored seltzer water and a bowl of fresh fruit just doesn't have the same effect. Here's to being healthy.
