Staying Positive
How do you stay positive when you work with a lot of negative people?
For some reason, usually I don't take it in, but for some reason the negativity is getting to me and I am having a difficult time fighting it off, especially since I love my job, the place where I work, the adrenalin rush I get from staying so busy....I honestly feel alone....

I have such a sarcastic bitter attitude ... most of the negative people make me their Queen! LOL!
I do admit that being around people all day who weigh your down emotionally is hard to get over. I really don't know if there is an answer...other than keeping a focus over your own thoughts.

People who are constantly unsatisfied annoy me. People who are cynical amuse me  .
I'm in a cherry mood most of the time, I think it's because I'm a foreigner and I appreciate more the advantages of living in France. IT's so easy to take everything that's around you for granted!

Oh, Merika, I find that very difficult to believe about you!! Your posts send me in spirals of laughter and so do the pics....On the contrary, I would Love to be at a party that you are attending and sit at your table with a drink, I think that would be the B-e-s-t time!!!!
BTW, how come there is no inebriated emoticon here?

Animal, I work for a very huge, wonderful Electronics Company that gives us so many perks and one of the best Employers where I live, that is why it bugs me when people complain so much!

Even if I did know it, I'd never actually admit to it.
If the people around you choose to be miserable, I say let them be miserable. There's no reason to engage in their heartless and soulless activities.
