Not questioning - just grateful

[susandennis]

I've noticed over the past couple of weeks a distinct change in my attitude towards work. The things that would sent me through the roof a month ago are just nothing-burgers now.

There are still the same number, quality and interference from the exact same fuckchops. I've had no change in compensation or benefits. I mean really nothing here at work has changed. The same assholes are still assuming I need their constant help interference.

But, oddly, it doesn't piss me off nearly as much as it did. And I haven't a clue why. Biorhythms, maturity, phases of the moon? Don't know. Don't care. Just appreciating...

Nothing-burgers?

Another new word to add to my vocabulary I love it!

[susandennis]

It's a great word for which I have yet to find an equivalent or even a decent one-word synonym.

I got it from my college roommate who, coincidentally is coming to visit this weekend!

Can I get some of what ever did it for you?

hormonal leveling or balancing?

[susandennis]

I reject that as a reason on so many grounds... And, if I'm wrong and it is, I deny the possibility. I'm going with weather. :)

Could it be the walking?

[susandennis]

nah, I don't think so. I think LordJim got it. Weather. I really think that has a lot to do with it.

Does your friend coming to visit know that there is a possibility that your lj friends may catch a glimpse of her? (if she walks by the webcam) ;)

[susandennis]

She was last here a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure I had the web cams then, at least one of them anyway. It comes with the territory.

Weather. For some odd reason you like that cold, grey, damp miserable weather y'all have up there. That nice warm weather just really had thrown you off.

[susandennis]

Out of all the possibilities mentioned so far, I'm thinking yours is likely right on the money. I didn't even think about that until I read your comment and I'll bet you are 100% right. Hot weather makes me crabby on a good day. And cool weather makes me feel energized and productive.

I think you nailed it. Wow. (And I sure like it better than the hormones theory!)

Take it from the empirical wisdom of LordJim, or Mark Twain, one or the other, "Never pass up the opportunity to blame it on the weather!"

I vote for weather and walking (those endorphins can be mighty powerful...and discreetly so!).

It's a combination

You very well could have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)in reverse! Weather that doesn't jive with your personality can affect your mood....but also exercise DOES realease endorphins and help with stress as well.....so I think it's a little of exercise, weather, and fresh air!

I'll take a lay person's 2 cents any day!
