Cooperative/Domineering

[caressa]

When I was using, I was the leading authority on everything, just ask me. I was told at a very early age, do it the right way or don't do it at all. I was quite shocked early in my career when a fellow office worker told me that she was nervous and scared of me when she first me me. She said I seemed to be so in control and was very much the perfectionist. I was later to become the checker for all work that left our department. I was not very popular with the other four ladies. Yet I was always the one who trained the new personal and was the person who they called on to do the extras. I got called Odd Job Jo very early in my life.

Today thanks to this program I am much more of a co-worker and able to see where other people are coming from and not so judgmental. The biggest difference is in the way I say something. I do it with a loving attitude instead of a domineering, do it my way or else.

Leaving tomorrow to go to my sister's for Christmas. When I go there, I have to work my program big time as my sister is very domineering and condescending. I always try to go there with an open mind and a loving heart because I know where she comes from. It took a long time to find some acceptance and learn to live and let live.

Had a great time at my sisters. On Christmas day we watched pictures of our kids from the time they were born until they were about 6-10. I saw a suit on my son I forgot that he had owned. It was a lot of fun and laughter. My nieces never arrived until Christmas day and I went with my sister and my brother-in-law to church on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was one of the best Christmas we have shared in a long time.
