Music Monday

Last week was pretty stressful for me. At one point my competence to do my job was questioned by clients because of a coworkers mistake. Why was it me questioned and not this coworker? Because my office's name and number was the contact on the document. The document was never sent to my office for review, nor was the mailout list sent for us to double-check. Since I've been the only one in the office for the last three weeks, the hiccup fell on my professional reputation. This was brought to my attention at a time when I was dealing with a difficult coach, trying to balance the financials from the five camps that were going on last week, and after I had accidentally refunded someone the full amount instead of a partial amount. By 3pm, I was nearly in tears in my office.

The next day at work, I slowly started to have songs brought to my mind that calmed me and/or just made me happy. I decided to get out of my funk and start writing down what I labelled as my "bad day playlist." I've taped this inside the cabinet above my computer so when situations like this arise (and working in sports, these situations are always guaranteed to come out of nowhere and bite you in the butt!). Since it's Monday, I figured I would share my playlist with y'all. (Not because Mondays are bad, but because I'm going for the alliteration on this one.) If you're ever having a bad day, or just need a quick pick me up, feel free to steal!
