Tomorrow I go back to work. I kind of feel ready(although after staying up late and sleeping in every day, not to mention drinking red wine every day my system and routine are completely pooched!) Over the holidays I watched seasons 1 and 2 of Mad Men. Although it may seem strange, I feel like I have learned some things from that show - particularly Joan Holloway. While she is objectified regularly in her office life, I have come to admire her attitude towards her bosses and the gossip within the office. She doesn't judge, she doesn't ask questions, and ultimately, she doesn't get emotionally involved(except for that affair with Roger. Let's just forget about that for a moment). This is what I hope to attain in the coming months. When I don't make it personal, I can come home at the end of the day and leave it behind. I have to make some changes in order to make it work and I think I can do it. I've done it before, I can do it again. It's a good job. I don't want to lose it because of back stabbing and gossip.
I also go back to boot camp tomorrow so if the emotional stuff doesn't kill me, physical exhaustion will surely wipe me out by Tuesday. Thank goodness I have a massage booked for Tuesday!
Time for bed. The coffee maker is set and so is my alarm. I'll let you know how it goes!
