negativity

I have a forum that I am very involved in. It is a board that is supposed to be full of people of higher spirituality. But lately all the posts seem to be negative, I have started two posts saying "I am tired of the negative posts I am trying to be positive and it has changed my life!" but it seems wrong to post something negative about people posting negative things! ah well.....

my thoughts for today on a day when I am really really tired.....

There is justice!

There really is justice in this world without me having to do a thing!
If you have been following my huge disappointment about having the sticker win taken away because of politics then you will understand this.
I found out this week, that someone went out in the parking lot during lunch and there was the good ole union brother, winner of the sticker contest sitting in his.....(drumroll please).....HONDA! And not in the foreign car lot either.....there will be serious repercussions for him on that one...teee heee! There is justice in this world there really is!
I love it!
I have let it go and good things are coming my way anyway.

Huge Disappointment

Well this is how a plant with union, and Management works.....You see I designed the door sticker and won hands down by anonymous voting....but when the union guy found out that I had won all of a sudden there was an issue with the prize being not made in America and so they couldn't give it out...then....they bought an American Made prize to give out, and then from there it went to she is not union or management (I am contracted within the plant from another company) she can't win. So they decided I couldn't win....you should see the second place contest winner. Sigh....So the Quality Council is going to give the award to the second place winner which doesn't even come near my design in quality, or design. So you see it is really not about quality but about politics. This is the worst part about this job. It would be a great place to work if you could change the manangement versus the union mentalities. It is so very disappointing and worse of all I feel like I have to act like it doesn't really matter, and that I don't care, when really I am very very hurt. Why can't my design work ever get out of the ordinary stage? I finally felt like maybe this was a step to being recognized as a real designer and not just a creative person with design skills.
I am very very hurt....

WHoooo Hooooo!

I am so over the top with excitement at the moment! The GM plant had a contest for a new sticker that would be put on the side of the door of every vehicle leaving the plant. I submitted my idea - and I won! Never mind that I won a fantastic wall clock that chimes, that to me is the least of the reward. The greatest reward is knowing that every truck built by GM at this plant will have my design on it! WOW! This is mind-blowing to me! I asked if I could put the first sticker on when they finally use them. My design will be seen by millions of people (let’s hope anyway with GM struggling so! Ha ha!) that buy the Silverado or Sierra trucks! What a rush! I am so excited!
