Maintaining composure and optimism

After all these years in the industry, the people far outshadow the technology when it comes to influencing daily job satisfaction.

After dealing with an argumentative, finger-pointing, badly smelling individual who refuses to live in the same reality as the rest of the team; I went home yesterday with a ripping headache and totally dispirited.

Today, I have *chocolates* for the assistance I gave a colleague outside my department, and my manager telling me I deserve a bonus.

Yay! Like dory said in Finding Nemo, "just keep on swimming".
