Sometimes You Feel Two Feelings at the Same Time
"Sometimes you feel two feelings at the same time, and that's okay." The message in "Daniel Feels Two Feelings," from the award-winning PBS Kids show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. O the Owl's Uncle X describes that feeling as "ambivalent".
This is an important special message for all to know. It is possible to be both happy and sad; both sad and angry; etcetera.
This applies to me when it comes to overtime work, which is not rare for me. I am happy that at least I am making a little extra money via the extra hours. I am glad I did after the fact on the one hand. BUT on the other hand, it can feel stressful when it looks like I will NEED to stay late to finish our work. And yes, although some days I WANTED to stay late, others feel like bad days when I feel that I HAVE to.
