The Great Dissapator
Tamika has the incredible ability to take any frustration I have and completely dissolve it. I’m not entirely sure how, but she’ll say something softly and sweetly, gently listen to me, empathize, and even if it’s been boiling in me all day long, it’s gone within seconds.
I just discovered my boss Dinorah has the same ability. I got a chance to talk with her yesterday about my frustrations with being overloaded, and she very patiently listened to me, apologized for not helping me earlier, and worked with me to figure out ways to reduce the stress. Not only that, but she gave me control over more aspects of various jobs so I can adjust the workload myself.
I know I’ve said this before, but it’s incredible to have a boss that listens so intently to you and takes to heart everything you have to say.
Now, let me clarify; they both don’t just let me do as I wish. They tell me know when I’m being irrational, but because they listened, I trust everything they have to say.
That’s a skill I’ve got to learn at all costs.
I am SO happy for you!
It’s great to surround yourself with people who can speak truth into your life in a powerful way.
People like that are such a God-send.
Don’t let your jobs pull you away from spending time with your family. Same for Tamika. Take a few days and go camping or something… I can’t believe how much you’re working. Don’t let it burn you out.
