Do you ever have days where you just don’t connect with
people? No matter how hard you try? I probably internalize things more than the
average Jane, but sometimes, no matter what, you just can’t connect with other
humans. And I, because I internalize
everything, take it to heart when that connection is bad. Like it is somehow my fault, which is ridiculous
because it is not. I highly doubt I am
the only person that experiences this, but honestly, some days I just want to
smack people. Like upside the head, with
a brick. It is not in my nature to be a
mean person so when someone is short or less than polite with me, I instantly
get the hair up on my back, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. What I really want to say is, go back to bed
and start over. Like now, right this
second.
Trust me when I say I have come to work in a bad mood before. I should stay in bed. I know this.
If they would pay me to stay in bed because of my mood, I would stay
home. However, if I come to work in a
bad mood, I just don’t say anything, to anyone, which really makes people
mad. Well, you have two choices, I can
be quiet, or can be a real ass…you pick. However, I do not answer the phone
like the jackwagons have that I have had to talk to the past few days. If you hate your job and your life and
whatever else it is you have going on, feel free to stay home. I know all about having to come to work when
I am feeling less than amicable, but I don’t answer the phone like a jerk. I may be a jerk around my co-workers, but
that is the price they pay for working with me, but I am not a jerk on the
phone to customers. That is where I draw
the line. If your job consists of
dealing with customers either in person or via the phone and your pants got put
on wrong that morning, it is probably a good idea to stay the hell home. Can’t afford to stay home? I suggest you sit in the break room and tell
everyone you are contagious, because your bad attitude is contagious and that
you must go home. Eventually, you will
probably get sent home. I am sure on certain
days it would be ok to take my own advice.
To the jerk that called looking for someone who doesn’t work
here and never has…no matter how many times you tell me they do, they don’t. If I need to protect someone’s whereabouts
that badly they should probably be in the Witness Protection plan, don’t leave
that up to me. To the jerk that
unfortunately got my call to schedule my doctor apt. this morning, I am sorry
you didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas, and that you had to go back to
work, I suggest you get new friends and family or a new job. To the acquaintance that is really just an
acquaintance, I honestly don’t care how you are doing in your life, I was
asking to be polite, but I won’t waste my time anymore on people who are so
clearly miserable with their own existence that they will never be able to tell
when someone is being polite. And to the
people that live in Glass Houses.
Clearly you didn’t learn by throwing stones, so allow me to bring you a
wheelbarrow full of bricks.
Oh and have a nice day!
