Today was a very trying day for me. I had a couple of customers from HELL. One lady had such a "holier than thou" attitude that I wanted to slap her! It was all I could do to keep my temper in check and remain calm. What I really wanted to do was tell her where she could take her bad attitude and shove it. Retail baby, gotta love it!
If it wasn't for my great staff, I would go insane. They keep me grounded and help me laugh off the loads of poop some people try to dish out to us. How can people be so uncivilized to each other? We are here to help people, not be their doormats. Common courtesy is like a "dead language" nowadays. I just don't understand it.
But there is a silver lining to all of this. I start my vacation on Saturday. One whole week of not having to worry about anything work-related. (Not really true, since my OCD will not allow me to NOT check on my people at least once a day.) I have nothing planned for my vacay, just need to get it out of the way before the busy holiday season starts.
WHOA, I just read what I wrote and I seriously think I need a change in career! I've become so immersed in my job that I have stopped enjoying my time away from it! How the heck did that happen?! OK, new resolution...(in mid-July)...stop and smell the roses, figuratively speaking. (I think roses stink.)
I think I will take a few trips out to Big Sur and start on bucket list #7...start taking more pictures to hone my photography skills. #1 needs work too. I'll have to track down the guy that processed my application for the place I'm getting an
d see if anything opened up in the area I want. Wow, I can think of at least five other things that I should do while on vacation...I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation just to recover. Oops, gotta go now...my OCD is calling and wants me to make a new list! By the way, I'm still on the salad diet...hence the continuous ramblings! ;)
