Why is it that I can be having a perfectly lovely day and encounter one mean person and it totally throws me off? It frustrates me that I let other people affect me like that. I used to try to give myself pep talks about them just being unhappy people and it is not about me, etc. But it never seemed to make a difference. The worst part about my job is that I cannot just avoid the mean ones. I have to go see them again next month. So you would think that I would be prepared to see the mean ones, have my guard up an let the mean stuff just blow past me. I think I have found the solution.
I saw this video last week.
And then I encountered a mean person. As I left their office and was walking down the hall, feeling bad and feeling mad at myself for feeling bad since I knew before I went in that she was a mean one, I suddenly heard Randall's words in my head. "Honey badger don't give a sh*t!" It made me giggle out loud. My new rule is that I can feel bad for a second (if I never felt bad when encountering a nasty person then I might be too calloused) and then I move on like the honey badger.

I have never seen this video before. Hilarious. It is always hard not letting crappy people get you down.
