Lunch today consisted of me coming home and bawling my eyes out, wiping them dry, re-applying my makeup, and eating a cold pasta salad.
I then returned to work.
Everyone tells me I need to "grow a thicker skin" and that I take my work too personally. The funny thing is that I am good at what I do because I put my heart into it. And it fulfills me and makes me an interesting person. Of course I take criticism personally. But I'm supposed to act like I don't because people take advantage of the "weak," whatever that means.
So I guess add that to the list of hypocritical standards that I'm supposed to meet.
