I used to put my emotions into my work. That's what I believe, I work with passion. When things do not go smoothly I start to be unhappy. Often enough emotions got the better of me.
Now, I have learned to leave my emotions at home when I am at work. Someone one of my bosses asked: "You don't seem to care when I take work off you?" To be very frank I do! As a matter of fact, if I let my emotions get the better of me I'd have broken down and cry. Now, that is not going to look good or professional isn't it? Or maybe that ex boss of mine was looking forward to that?
It is already not a bed of roses having to manage my own emotions. Well, I do have to deal with emotional people from time to time. I had an emotional boss in one job, then I have to deal with an emotional peer when I moved on to another.
When will people start to learn NOT to bring their emotions to work????!! I'd rather spend time working out solutions than to be emo(tional) over things that I have to get done anyway by hook or by crook! I believe that nobody can make me feel the way I want to feel and yes that's most important... Maybe that's just me.....
