What do you do when no matter what; you’re just in a cranky mood?

It’s not the weather. I don’t mind a bit of cloudiness. As a matter of fact, I prefer it since I really don’t like the sun. I can’t put my finger on the cause, so it’s not something I can just “fix.”

First step is to accept that it’s just one of those days. It’s not like every day can be all smiles and giggles. As a matter of fact, I am highly suspicious of those folks you see who smile ALL the time - either they have a really good prescription, are some what delusional, or they are ready to snap. Second, don’t let my overall grumpiness affect others. After all I can still be friendly, say hi to folks, be helpful, etc. etc. etc. Third, just muddle through, keep busy, and focus on the positive.

Of course just enjoying being cranky is an option too. For example, find something to rant about, which makes having a blog so nice. You can rant on and on, and you won’t be bothering co-workers, friends or family members.

I have a few pet rants I could go on about.

Like where I work has added to our objectives the goal of 100% accuracy. Ok well, if that is the case - guess what just lay me off now because last time I checked - I was human! This means, I will most certainly make a mistake eventually and I am far from perfect. Where do they get off? It’s sad really, more and more companies are doing this. It’s a pitiful way to treat their employees and gives them a stupid excuse to just fire people on the spot. And yes I know of two people who were fired for a mistake in the past couple months (of course no one is allowed to speak about it). So now it’s an official policy, when means the big wigs must be really out to cut employees. I guess the “fire at will” policy they already have (and forced us to sign that we agreed with it or else be fired) isn’t good enough any more, they had to come up with ridiculous “no mistake” policy.

And another thing, my car oil light is on. This isn’t really a big deal, except I told hubby it was starting to come on last week. But of course nothing got done since then, and now the light was on the entire drive to work. When I first told him, hubby said “why is it his job to take care of my car?” Well because it is! We’ve known each other about 20 years now and when have I ever done anything with my car? Besides women usually get totally ripped of at car places, so it is more practical for him to take it in. Of course hubby does a LOT of things and he’s a great guy so I really can’t complain. It’s just I am a bit of whimp when it comes to my car, but still I like having him take of it. I don’t like car stuff, I have no clue where to take it, and it makes me feel “cared for.” So don’t go changing the rules on me now this far into our relationship.

I think it’s probably healthy to just let out some crankiness now and then and vent. After all it’s not really healthy to just stuff your emotions all the time.

So for now I just have to muddle through the rest of the afternoon, then I’m sure the crankiness will evaporate once I can enjoy an evening at home with the family, work on my crochet project and pet the cat (it’s hard to stay grumpy with a purring cat in your lap).
