Self-care

By Mee - 05/10/2009 10:49 - Kuwait

Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML

wow your boss gave you a printed email. yawn.....

If you wrote down in detail exactly how you love yourself (anatomical landmarks, number of fingers, etc.), your boss ought to give you a rise*, because you sure gave him a rise. *In a lot of English-speaking countries outside of the US, they call a "raise" a "rise."

So... is the FML that your boss found out you were goofing off at work and composing emails to yourself and customizing it like there was no tomorrow? Oh. Okay.

Actually, I think writing a letter about how much you like yourself is something everyone should try.

This is why I don't write emails to myself.

YAY!! someone from Kuwait!!! yeah, i totally get wht u mean when u say YLIF, managers there can be a hassle sometimes. Make tht most of the time. FYL

It makes me happy to know I'm not the only one that gets excited by the OP's residence.

i dont get whats so exciting about living in Kuwait?

Do you live in Kuwait? I just get a little excited when you hear about someone who isn't from the USA, Canada, France, or England. I mean, they are the norm.

oh lol i never thought of that, good point though

This is a very positive way to deal with frustration in the workplace. Instead of badmouthing other people or being negative or snarky to everyone around you, you did a positive affirmation. I bet you're just as positive when encouraging co-workers. Every boss who knows anything about workforce management and team morale would be tickled to have someone like you as their employee.
