Things I cried over this week
(And the week isn't over yet)
I'm a very emotional person. I cry at sad and happy movies, books, TikToks... you name it. I will cry over any little small thing sometimes, whether it's something that's just a small inconvenience or something that is truly sad.
Now, I did lose a grandma this week... so I've obviously cried over that a few times this week. But instead of focusing in on that, let's laugh at all the other ridiculous things that have gotten me emotional this week.
...And there's probably others that I can't think of right now.
It's crazy how sometimes the smallest thing can lead to a mental breakdown when you're already in a rough spot.
Will everything be okay? Yes, it absolutely will. (And that's what I keep reminding myself). But that doesn't mean that I can't acknowledge that some stuff sucks.
There's a few things that I do if I'm not feeling super great or I'm having one of those small moments that seems so overwhelming. It's amazing how one small thing might make the day not seem so bad.
I might...
Call or text a loved one
Take a shower
Play with the dog
Watch a Disney movie
Go for a walk
Soak up some sun
Also... remember to take your medications, drink water, get a decent amount of sleep, and eat something. Sometimes we forget the simple things, and yes, the simple things can make a difference.
I hope your week is going better than mine, but hey -- I'm already feeling a bit better because look! I wrote something this week.
Here's to next week. 🥂

Addressing favouritism at workplace
Favouritism at work can have negative consequences on employees. It leads to feelings of resentment that can lead to decreased productivity and a decrease in job satisfaction, as well as job performance. It results in conflicts between employees, which can damage the workplace environment. Whether subtle or overt, favoritism can permeate organizational cultures and overshadow the work being done regardless of how successful or fulfilling it is in itself. Favoritism can be dangerous as it is very likely to push your hardworking employees into feeling undervalued and possibly looking for that value elsewhere. Addressing favoritism is crucial for maintaining a healthy and productive workplace. Here are some signs of favoritism to watch out for:

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
