It's My Blog & I'll Rant If I Want To

Let me just say, I've been in a bit of a mood since I got to work this morning. It begins and ends w/ miscommunication:
1) At 8 a.m. this morning, someone from accounting called to tell me that I didn't sign for a check that I had to pick up yesterday because no one has told the caller who was supposed to bring it to me. They have always delivered the checks...When I went to pick it up yesterday, she wasn't at her desk. So I took it off her desk and then had to sign for it this morning. Every time she calls, I know there is a stupid, yet easily corrected by her, problem...I really hate to hear from her first thing in the morning...
2) A friend emailed me this morning and I misinterpreted what this person was saying. Then, this person called me out on something...which is true: I don't open up and let people get to know me. That's a shock for my FW friends, I know! For the record, I've taken this year to pull back and reflect on those relationships and activities that are important to me. I made some big changes this year by switching dance teachers and retreating from activities/people that suck the life out of me. Not to mention I didn't want every conversation to be an opportunity to bash my former teacher or complain in general. I had some stuff to work through. I've enjoyed the peace that has come w/ having time to myself. I've gotten to see friends I haven't seen in a couple of years. The time I spend w/ people is more enjoyable. I am just beginning to want to get out again socially. I assure everyone I will...when I'm ready.
3) Someone stole my monogrammed coaster that was under my coffee mug this morning. After nearly two hours, it was returned but I wasn't at my desk to see who returned it. No one else saw them either. Apparently, my disappointment at discovering the coaster missing was communicated well enough for it to be returned. I received the coaster from my boss at my first job right out of college...so I've used it at many a job throughought the years. Thanks to whomever felt remorseful enough to return it. And thanks to God for hearing my prayer.
I'm done ranting now :)
