Work... I am not going crazy after all....
Cognative Thinking skills... Feeling.. stressed... thinking.. work is always walking on egg shells.. I am worried about making my co-workers paranoia or causing a new rumor to start that is untrue.
Feeling level... stressed... 50% level of belief in my thoughts... GOING UP every day... 50% I suppose.
Why is it going up... lets consider the facts... hmmm which cognative skills to use... compare and contrast.. defense attorney... ahh... I will just list them and play prosecutor... not the correct way to do cognative skills, but it is my blog!!!!!!!
So I work with nine officers total. Two are day staff and are awesome, wonderful guys with weekends off, day shift, and close to retirement. Two are midnight staff and usually work alone and have little to do with the politics because they avoid it. 5 people are on my watch. Of those five.. one is under investigation and not working right now, I am the second... that leaves three left. Of those three, one wants to transfer to midnights to avoid the politics and trouble, one wants to take a part time job at the kitchen, and one wants to transfer to a different facility. WOW... the stress isn't just in my head. I am not crazy after all....
So back to cognative thinking skills, my thoughts are proven... sort of.. there is stress at work anyway... so how do I fix it? Hmm.. I can wait until they quit or move, and I work with new people. I can take the challenge of working with a stressful environment/people and learning careful communication. As far as administration and politics go, I have no problems with them... as other people do... ahhh the waiting game... having my feelings validated makes me feel better... that means other people want change to, so I am not in this alone!
