Bitten by the Grinch

“Blast this Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant.” ~ The Grinch, Dr. Seuss

Today I succumbed to a Grinch-like attitude. I had not been in the office most of this month but today the politics got to me. I was extremely grumpy half-way through my office day.

Somehow I had to pull it together as I was the MC for the holiday/retirement party, which actually turned out pretty darn good, despite me having a major headache, still feeling yucky and trying desperately to stuff the Grinch into a bag. The retiree had a hoot and so did those gathered. Mission accomplished, I would say.

I arrived home to find that my landlord had entered my apartment without my permission (again!) and created more chaos than was already there. Tonight was not the night for that. He had also left several lights on for hours it seems and broke my garbage can. He tends to break things and not tell me about them when he is in my suite. So my Grinch finally did get the better of me, I must shamefully confess. I called him and left a message for him to please stop entering my apartment when I am not home. I appreciate the work that he did but who needs to come home after a 11-hour day and start cleaning a mess that you did not make? I stopped short of telling him to replace my garbage can but I will ask him to do so when I calm down. I had hoped finally to put up my tree but I lost the mood sadly.

Bah Humbug….oops! Now I am mixing my references.

Peace,

Suzanne
