Psalm 77:1 - 3

"I cried out to God with my voice -- To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed." Psalm 77: 1 - 3

Day 123 - Office Issues


I'm a working mother and wife. I work in a small office with three other women, the judge, and two other employees who pop in from time to time but basically work from their homes.

It can get pretty hairy in this office some days, especially in dealing with a certain older, female coworker who has a load of issues and neuroses.

We bump heads from time to time, and we irritate each other quite often. Well, I should say that I irritate her quite frequently, and she doesn't hesitate to let me know of it.

She's the type of gal who works very hard and is very good at what she does, but her interoffice personal skills are lacking. She does not play well in the sandbox. Her hair bristles easily. Her fangs come out an the slightest offense.

Yesterday was one such day. Of course, I had somehow managed to cause her feathers to ruffle. Tensions are high in the office now.

Lord, I am trying to be a good employee, a good coworker. I try not to make mistakes when doing my work. But I do make mistakes. I'm not perfect. And this coworker loves to get me into trouble when I make them.

Help me in this tense office situation.

Amen.
