Workplace Politics and Braining Is Hard

I tend to take things personally, especially, workwise.

Normally, I'd find an opening that would give me peace.
Finding tasks, that I can focus on my own, used to give me the space I needed.
Politically, there was always a safe bulkhead that would provide respite or common sense would prevail.

Lately, there seems to be an environment that triggers me.
Or, more appropriately put, I am triggering at the environment I find myself within.
Having to constantly explain myself to people who do not agree with my perspective, all the while, monitoring and guiding others around me.

The shining light, from all of the workplace politics and scrutiny, is the fact I have no jedi power to influence the situation.

The only person I need to convince; is me.

That's a tough one, but it's becoming easier, as I just have my anxiety dreams to contend with.

That part of me is getting better at it as...

I've been floating for some time.
Grinding the daily grind sure makes time fly!

I'm sure I've stopped and smelled some roses...
Or was that just a screen saver?

It's OK.
But time sure flies in the Land Of Oz.
