phoenix_aroseKay here is my rant about giftmas season - I talk to 40-70 people everyday and I would say about 10 of those people are jerks. Today about 40 of them were jerks and 2 of them made me cry with in an hour’s time. Why where they upset, I’m not sure - I don't have the leisure to ask them what went wrong in their day b4 they decided to yell at me - I just get the snap shot of the conversation. The rest of the jerky people I talked at/to/with today were upset because their 300$ music player for their 10 year old is going to arrive 10 days b4 Christmas instead of 12 days. or that they are canceling their order b/c it's too much hassle to add an alt. shipping address to the order for their 3,000+ $ G5 computer. I know that a lot of local businesses would have a hard time making it if it were not for the insanity of the 4th Quarter. but seriously people - my relatives asked me what I wanted for giftmas this year and I told them that if they had to get me something then get me gift cares to food places that I like to eat at -or place I like to shop target things Celtic lowes, natural magic ... or make me something - but folks I have 22 years worth of stuff I don't need any more stuff.
things I love about this season
- putting up a Christmas tree with bing Crosby playing Christmas music in the back ground
- singing Christmas/Hanukkah/ Yule music
- Hanukkah parties
- Christmas ever church service
- hanging lights on the house
- cold evenings at home watching old movies/reading a good book/drinking a cup of something hot
- staying up to welcome the sun on Yule
- big family dinners
Yeah gift rock my socks - I’m not going to lie - but I wander thought shops all year and if I see something I think so-and-so would like I buy it and give it to them then ... 'cause why wait for some holiday.
any way that's how I feel about the 4th quarter holiday bull shit
also I realized something today - I’m not very good with rejection - I think that's actually what upsets me at work when I’ve worked as hard as I could to fix something and people just spit on it - it upsets me. The head noise says “see you’re not good enough" and it gets added to other head noise and eventually it just overwhelms me - so there is the analysis of why some customers make me cry. Matt says he doesn't get why I make my work personal well - I’m not sure how you give customer service your 110% best and not make it that why. I have news for you - if you my work and talk to me - I can promise you I do care about getting your issues resolved as best as I’m able to, right up until your a jerk then I have 0 sympathy for you what ever your issues are - I’m going to follow policy to the tee and now work for you b/c you refused to treat me like a human. It's personal b/c I care. Someone on my friends list once wondered if we all had a picture of ourselves at age taped to our cheat if we (world) wouldn't be kinder in our interactions with each other ... I don't know I think there would still be some jerks who it wouldn’t make a lick of difference but a majority of people I think it would. Interesting thought that ......
I'm still feeling pretty violent towards people in general right now - the desire to scratch out random peoples eyes it's ever present. But I’m hoping that backs of a bit over the next few days. Not too likely but I can always hope.
I’m done for now it sounds like the boy is home
