On days you find yourself stressed beyond belief by the prospect of another crazy work day, just utter these simple words:
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the minds I cannot change,
the courage to endure second-guessing, backstabbing, and unfounded criticism,
the strength to resist baked goods brought in by generous colleagues and the mid-afternoon siren song of the vending machine,
the intelligence to remember that when someone asks for your "honest opinion," honesty is not what they're interested in,
the discipline to avoid choosing Facebook instead of meeting deadlines,
the good fortune to avoid conversations which include the words "budget-cutting," "changing priorities," or "changing direction,"
and, above all, the wisdom to remember that no matter how bad it gets, I am lucky to have a job.
Feel better now?
