Growing

It's amazing how little things help me realize how much I've grown and still need to grow. One of my co-workers from a different dept. went off on me today over the phone (she called from home) for something she was majorly responsible for.

Now the Tatababe of sometime last year would totally have gone off right back at her especially since she was going off about something she was primarily responsible for but today I just listened and as I've learnt over the past few months sometimes listening involves empathy.

To be honest, I think it was just pent-up frustration from much more than the job and she needed to vent, I just happened to be the one in my dept. to pick up the phone. This is not to say it was okay for her to do what she did but like I said in my very first post I'm learning to be less judgmental because "it's a grace to know". It humbles me and gives me the opportunity to be of service. I did the best I could to calm her down.
