Driving Me Crazy

Driving Me Crazy

On a regular day my job is usually semi-tolerable, dealing with happy customers, no drama, and the extremely ambitious co-workers...not ; Actually a regular day consist of complaining, rudeness and drama. I don't want to make it seem as if I am resentful because i am not, however i do feel the lack of respect. I suppose in any job there is going to be a feeling of no respect, and or frustration, i suppose it is all the way you handle it. The job itself is fine, in fact it is great and most of the customers and co- workers are very nice, but there are always a few prima-donnas long the way. It is all about how to deal with the negative, once you can do that everything else falls into place; easier said then done. According to William Langland patience is a virtue, but i believe the superficial charm my job fills in my head with over rules any honest ,or moral patience left inside of me. I would love to be able to be a little more relaxed at my job when it comes to the ruder people, but it is hard when your managers are required no matter what but to comfort and always take the customers side, even if the customer is completely wrong. I have been doing this for quite a few years so this is not new to me, in fact it is all i know. I did notice however, The good thing about dealing with the craziness at work is learning how to deal with it.  I can say at least i know how to deal with anyone, complaining about anything at any time. It may be considered a positive thing, I suppose you can say i have another trait under my belt.

Day one of an action packed week

        Today will be the first day of many crammed and tiring days, yet the successes will definitely over come the stress. In order for me  to balance work, school and a social life it is important to have organization. My life without organization  is havoc and dismay. It is all a domino affect for me; Basically if one thing falls apart or out of order the week will be in a total rut. You see school comes first in a timely 8am to 1pm; shorty after school is work, which is 1:30 pm to 11pm. Clearly there is no room for a social life in those particular hours, however i do have the honor of being off on weekends. Being off the weekends leaves me room to not only socialize with family and friends, but also leaves me time to catch up on some cleaning. I am grateful for the weekend because cleaning is one my biggest concerns when i am not home often. I would clean every single day of the week for hours at a time if i could, which is probably the reason why i get called OCD. In any case after the house is clean the socializing begins along with bills being paid and reading a book here or there. My main concern is balance, while i love to organize and structure everything perfectly it doesn't always work that way unfortunately. I am trying to keep a nice balance homeostasis.
