YAY!!!!! I'm suspended from work. Now before someone asks why I'll tell you.
You see today was just not a happy day. I had to see my room mate and girl off at the airport today. They went to visit their parnts for a few days. So that made me sad. On top of that my cat is sick she wont eat or do anything. The puppy is chewiing up everything in sight. So I'm sad and pissed. Then I get to work and on my desk is a large pile of papers that need to be finished by the end of the day. This only adds to my already pissy mood. Not to mention we were busy as hell today,we were so backed up. Then this guy walks in and signs his name and i go get his file and put it in the stack with all the others. I go back to all my paper work and five minutes later the same guy comes up and asks how long it's going to be. I politely told him that we were backed up and it would be a little while but the doctor was seeing people as fast as he could. back to my paper work Then a few minutes later he's back at my window asking how much longer. I'm loseing my little temper. I tell him as politely as I can that it will still be a little while. SO back to my paper work a few minutes pass and there he is again. asking the same damn question. I told him the same thing. He starts going off on me about how he has other things to do today besides sit in a doctors office, he's got a real nasty attitiude with me. So I stood up and let my old Jersey attitude truely shine. First i threw a stapler at him then I opened my mouth and all hell came out. I cussed him and swore at him and threatened to poke his eyeball out.
That's how i got suspended.

"This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers"
I have seen some dumb fucking shit. I have seen some selfish shit. I have seen some stupid, STOOPID shit and seen them try to pull off a "I'm-too-damn-smart-and-successful-to-clean-up-my-own-mess-HERE-SLAVE-clean-up-my-fuck-up".
I could write a script for a hilarious movie just based on the crazy things people ask or do.
It has made me one of the most patient, nicest customers you will ever meet because I KNOW what it's like when people look at you and treat you like you oughtta be more comfortable crunched under their heel like a bug and you should be cooperating to ensure that happens.
Have you ever tried putting up a shield? A mentally projected one? It can work pretty well sometimes. Sometimes I get into this mode where there is this invisible glass screen between me and the nasty customer and I am watching them like a scientist might watch a microbe displaying odd pseudopod behaviour. Hmm...interesting...yes...I see you are upset...I'll see what I can do...hmm...hmmm....
By the way, I liked your fairy post in my journal, it made me chuckle.
