So it's like I have this secret thing I do, although it's not really a secret. The sunrise yoga class is in it's own little bubble in my day. I leave when it's dark out and get back to my apartment by 7:25 AM, the approximate time I would start getting ready in the past. So far, I have not gotten any wellness business work done in the extra hour before class, as was my tentative goal. I'm just relishing the slow pace of getting ready and having time to sit on the couch to pet my cat. Somehow over the last many months I've gotten out of the habit of morning dinacharya, and have been loathing the rush to get to work ever since. That probably contributes to my attitude problem. Oh yeah, baby, it does! Also, I stood up for myself and asked for what I wanted in my annual eval - for 20% of my hours to be flexible, that only amounts to 8 of my hours...only 8! I wanted to work 8-5 MWF and 8-12 TR with the other eight hours to be fit in wherever I could fit them. For sake of ease, I suggested 7-9p four evenings a week. However, denied. "We're an 8-5 office." Boo. Further reason to get the hell out of here. OOps! Attitude again! So now, I have to decide if I'm ready and/or willing to ask for a reduction in my FTE (full time equivalency, for those not blessed with excess HR know how). What I'm considering is going part-time (20 hrs/wk) which, of course, means no more benefits, but it means more free time in the afternoons. Honestly, yoga is my health insurance, so I'm not overly concerned about that. I saw on Facebook yesterday someone posted that in addition to heat advisory warnings, we also need high snarkiness warnings. Ahem! Here you go, I've announced my excessive snarkiness tendency today! Which reminds me of the fact that yoga amplifies who we are. But... it also burns away the crap. So we'll see what's left!
Note: I type all of this snarkathon knowing that I am quite lucky because most people have much bigger problems. Nonetheless this seems to be the one I obsess over the most.
