Still working on acceptence....kinda

I thought I was working hard on my word for the year...acceptance.  Yesterday proved that I may have a ways to go.  There is a full moon out and I truly believe that it brings the wackos out.

Yesterday at work a woman came to me for assistance. I was ok with helping her, but I knew I would need to pass her on to someone else to complete her request. I patiently listened to her, I got out a form and began to help her fill it out.  THEN, that women, who came to me for help, answers her cell phone. I accepted that she may have needed to answer this important call, so I waited. I waited a little more, not trying to appear like I was listening to her phone call, a call that I felt was dumb. 8 minutes later I accepted that I was going to have to choke her if she did not get off that call. In the words of my sister "a jury of my peers would understand". She came to me but she was wasting my time. I accepted that I was going to interrupt her and tell her to let me know when she needed my help again, and I accepted that it was probably something that would get me in trouble...but she was really irritating me. Fortunately for her, she got off the phone before I had to do something that would have the boss all over me. 

I guess I accept that I may need to spend more time on my word for the year.
