Really? Grow up, we're professionals now.

It never fails to amaze me when people act like children in the workplace.  Unfortunately, I see it often.  Really?! Did your mama never teach you what mine taught me?  That regardless of your age, the emotional pull to be a 2 year old and throw a tantrum, or any other situation...you bite your damn tongue and act like a grown up.  I work in a business that people's emotions run high, that their pre-conceived notions of me may put me at a disadvantage.  I take pride in the fact that although I might get asked if I am "even graduated from college I look so young" ... I am professional from 730-4p.  (OK, I might not be so professional when I am talking to my dynamic duo G&B...but that just doesn't count!)  So...on days like today, I am so thankful to my mama and all the others in my life that have taught me to act like a grown-up.  To those that taught me to put my best foot forward.  To the folks that helped me master the concept of "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit".  I might be the turtle in this race...but if I remember my childhood literature, I think that might work out for me in the end.
