Resolution #2- Be tolerant of my co-workers

I need to be tolerant of others in my area, even those who insist upon talking on their speaker phones at such a volume that those of us who have cubicles down the hall can hear every freaking word of the conversation. I need to refrain from smacking people who agree to simple, basic things in meetings (such as not using terms in their own documents that have a specific, technical meaning in a related department,) but when they do something contrary to what they agreed to in the meeting they try to claim that department whose terms are being used incorrectly in said documentation are "all of a sudden" trying to change how things are done. Especially since the exchange regarding the "sudden" change is happening outside of my cubicle, not as part of my conversation, but I was the one taking notes in the meeting where they agreed to use proper language in the first place.

Who's Who

    Hubby- aka DH My husband since 1995. He is the head of the band department at a college prep school, and dabbles as a wanna-be pop star.

    The Princess- aka DD. Third grader at the local parochial school. Loves butterlies, sparkly things, the color purple and has recently developed a crush on one of the twins from "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody". Is ready for her teenage years, having already perfected her exasperated sigh and dramatic eye-roll.

    Hoss- aka DS1. Kindergartener and resident spirited child. His aunt likes to call him "the evil genius" because of his penchant for letting a lack of intellectual stimulation lead him into mischief. Likes trucks, sports, building things and burping. His current favorite word is "underwear."

    Lil Joe- aka DS2. Born in 2003. Doesn't say much we can understand, but has mastered the important stuff ("eat!", "Wash hands!", "Want chocolate ones!", "Hockey game!") Likes to push buttons, much to the consternation of whoever is trying to watch a DVD. Firmly refuses to use the potty, despite evidence that he is physically ready to be out of diapers, indicating a level of stubborn that eclipses even that of his parents and siblings.

    Me? I'm the Mama. That's all you need to know.
