mental ping pong

Bad thoughts

1. Forgetting how to separate home from work stress.
2. Having a week's worth of work to get done in two days.
3. A crick in my neck causing lots and lots of shoulder pain and headache.
4. Seeing only two remaining Advil in the bottle and one Tums.
5. Bright sun + headache = ow
6. Having to rush around after work to get to everywhere on time.
7. Not doing so well on the "losing weight/regain fitness goal".
8. Worrying about money and vacation and health and all that.
9. Yeah, well, you suck and noone likes you or will ever love you and...

Good thoughts

1. Having a Q-tip on my monitor and it's not your fault.
   
2. Taking the first couple days of the week for a class that will not only earn me a bonus, but will help me troubleshoot my customers better.
3. My chiropractor is on my way to work and I have a bottle of Advil.
4. Walgreens is on my way to work.
5. I have a window that gets sun, which is really helping me avoid SAD this year.  Yay!
6. I get to pet my dog, then have another belly dance lesson, then go to Kate's Lea Sophia party where there will be a dark chocolate fountain.
7. Oh, shut up.  I've been going to the gym fairly regularly and practicing the posture and isometrics for dance.  And it's Half-Price Chocolate Day.  Deal.
8. Yeah, well, at least you have these things to worry about them.  And it's been 7 years since you bought yourself a computer - you're allowed a nice one.  Also, that yarn you just got? Go make something pretty and indulge the can't-sit-still-must-craft part of your personality. 
   
9. Ok, I've had enough.  *grabs dumbass Bad thoughts voice*  *punts voice out of psyche*  Now, can we maybe try to make some headway in why the program has decided that it's just not cool to work?  If you'd like to maybe do a crossword puzzle first, I'm okay with that, but let's regain some focus - you can deal with the rest of the crap later. *dusts off hands*  Well, let's do this thing.
