Day 10: Turn Happily

I'm not gonna tell you another PMS story, NO. hahahaha... I just want to share something because I think every girl should be able to control her emotion (during or around the time of period) Because, usually, you don't get mad at the thing, no. It's just your hormones. And today, I did. I chose to be happy for several hours than to be grumpy all day.

It happened at 3 pm. I was multitasking (listening to my play list, chatting with Rossi and writing for special Christmas sale leaflet). Along came our marcomm staff. He walked to my desk. I knew it without turning my head around.

"Hey Nnisa, I think the headline has to be more catchy," he said nicely.

I plugged my earphone out. "Sorry?"

"Yeah, you should re-write the headline. Make it more catchy," he repeated.

"Oh, okay." I stared at my monitor. He stood still beside me. "Give me 10 minutes," I asked him to leave me alone, and yes, he left.

I plugged my earphone in and grabbed my mouse. I got mad. And when I get mad, I blast my eardrums. I play Spaceman in high volume and drown myself and my anger in sound.

Hormone + Stupid Revision = Mad

I made 5 new headlines. I was pretty sure they were all catchier than the first one. Rossi helped me out and made headline # 6. Then I stopped. I stared at my monitor for thousand times and typed headline # 7. I didn't like headline # 7. I didn't like it because it's not catchy, not even close to the first one. I didn't like it but I knew they'd pick it.

Guess what? They picked headline # 7.

Doh~

I could get angrier when I knew that they chose headline # 7 over 6 other. But I chose to turn around. I left my catchy-headlines-but-not-approved-by-the-man and started to write another task.




I learned.

I would love to grieve and make the rest of my day as the worst day of my life. But I didn't do it. I just left it and gave a smile to the new things. As simple as that, and it worked.

Oh, how I love simple things!!
