Coworker

“Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is a choice."

Months ago when coworker C was helping one of the seniors to the restroom accidentally pump her head to the wall while the senior was losing balance. It made a loud noise so I ran to check to see if there was something wrong and I heard the coworker C called out for help. Quickly we had the nurses come to help. 

I was shocked and worried and I held my forehead with my right palm and then the coworker L was passing by saw me and giggling said “oh! I thought it was she (me) hit her head”. At that moment I was furious because it’s not funny at all. So I turned around and said something (I don’t even remember what I said). Anywho somehow the other coworker C was right behind me (I think, should be) got angry at me. “But I am not mad at you, I said to her”, “I know, but you are talking at me!, she answered.”

I didn’t apologize to her technically it was not my fault. But I did try to talk to her the following days. And apparently she still mad at me, therefore I stopped talking to her completely unless it’s work related meaning that when I have no choice. I have to be responsible for this job.

Weeks after that incident, she (coworker C) was tested positive. I have to say thanks to coworker L and coworker C mercilessly.

I am not quiting..

Being a daughter, mom, coworker, volunteer (used to).

Yet, I will keep on reading, writing, singing, dancing, cooking, baking, thanking and  praying.

Coincidentally

Last week the road that I usually take to work is having construction. And I was thinking that the coming weekend for our routinely family eat out we should drive by this route to check if the construction being done. Then I forgot all about it until we drove by this particular road yesterday.

Fake potato

It’s funny that the English name of 山藥 is Chinese Ym/Chinese Potato.

Therefore, stop calling it fake potato.

Anyway, the Chinese potato’s appearance, texture and taste do somehow like the potato.

Magazine

Got the free People magazine years ago through recycle bank reward.

And I shared the magazine with one of the senior friends at our center after I’ve read it.

The free Issue ended right around year 2020 pandemic lockdown and my senior friend died during the lockdown.

Inspiring me to search more information about, Purpose-Driven vs. Performance-Driven.

And I found this wonderful article that I want to share too.

Yet, I wanted to learn more about how to apply this concept onto daily lives, like helping young kids and also seniors.

Police Car

Optimism vs. Pessimism / Careful vs. Careless 

When you see a police car park near your workplace or a store that you are about to go.

What is the first thought that comes into your mind?

Oh! My God! That must be something happened or happening near me! 

Or what a released that I feel safer that there is police around!

Karaoke Time

Last week when both kids were out I set up my karaoke and sang for hours. Now I found another way that can ease my home alone anxiety and fulfill one of my life goals.
