I stopped reading the thread - no need to bash my head against the wall;-). <br /><br />If it's any help, I happened to come across a quote today in a book that I was reading that was sheer serendipity! It read, "Ignore negative thinkers in your midst. For often the remarks made in your direction aren't so personal as you might at first think. They are merely a projection of the speaker's own feeling of failure and discouragement." page 124, The Magic of Thinking Big.<br /><br />It surely sounds that 40 minutes for TWO people is actually LONGER than 60 minutes for one person, so I'm guessing as you say, you just caught someone that had a bad morning.<br /><br />Good wishes to you. You brought a bit of sunshine to my day and here's to hoping you can shift your thoughts to things like chocolates, great movies, good music and the fact you have a grateful person writing you now. <br /><br />Best wishes.The Frugal Millionairesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059381171857078040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119229878827812366.post-56500175999135767422009-09-15T10:07:06.135-07:002009-09-15T10:07:06.135-07:00Hi I read this on MSE and though it doesn't se...Hi I read this on MSE and though it doesn't seem to be going down too well on there some of it was actually what I needed to hear when i got in from work today.<br /><br />Im also a thin skinned sort of person so when i got a complaint at work it REALLY got to me and I've been worrying about it all afternoon when I really shouldn't be! <br /><br />It's a temporary summer job cleaning which ends on friday and the complaint was that I was working too slowly this morning because it took me nearly an hour to do a room. I thought it was reasonable but paid attention to how long other people took this afternoon to look for something to aim for. The person i had the complaint from took around 40 minutes to do a room working with someone else. It actually confused me even more because i always thought they were nice and not the sort of person to put in complaints without making sure they knew there was a problem. Maybe they did just have a bad morning before they came to work.<br /><br />I really need to learn to forget things, or not get upset in the first place because that's bound to keep them running round my head all day.<br /><br />Sorry I don't have any advice because i've not developed the skills you want either but good luck :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
