Okay, so the majority of people today don’t like their jobs. I get that. But there are a fraction of us who actually like what we do.

And you know what? Negativity, you unsatisfied people, is not welcomed.

Who the hell wants to be in an office where the majority of people are complaining about their jobs? Not I, said the smart one.

Even if your boss is a complete idiot – they often are – and you work hard for what seems like nothing, you should still have a positive attitude about what you do, or chances are, you’re not going to make it very far at it, or at anything. Most of the time, life is what you make it. So if you make it great, it IS great. Even as a waitress, I was the best and happiest damn waitress out there, especially when I got a job as a writer.

I’m fairly certain that everyone has a negative nancy at their office or workplace for the most part. Be it in male or female form, this negative nancy always seems to have some story about why the man is a moron, the system is faulty, and the future is bleak.

Why spread that kind of aura?

I forgot my headphones today, much to my demise. So as I’m plugging along, my poor, positive and happy ears couldn’t help but be filled with negative nancy’s drama and negativity. So what did I do? I left.

He can talk all the smack he wants to about me being lazy and leaving if it gives him something to word vomit about, but I earn that privilege from the life decisions I’ve made, and by god I’m going to use them. Especially when someone is polluting my place of solace and creative writing.

In the end, I truly believe that neg. nancy will lose a lot of the friends that they once had, and all the respect they’ve earned by working hard. They may even be fired. Because let’s face it – no one wants to hear that crap.

So please – all you negative nancies out there: find a silver lining, and leave us content people the hell alone.
