Oh Hell, it's 3am and I'm still awake so here I am. I have read the news, my frequently visited websites, played cards and here I am still. Jeeezhus H Christ. I have been working nights all this week, getting out at 10pm so there you go. This is my problem. Its totally screwing with my sleep schedule.
Soooo....like I said I have been working night-just for this week. A few of my people(yes I HAVE people) are on vacation so I volunteered to do some nights. Then came this week and I was like, Shiiiiit - I don't really WANT to do this now!!! Reason being, people generally SUCK. Working with the public SUCKS. I live in Connecticut and believe me when I tell you there are some pretty frikken rude ass people in this state. My "normal" job entails working in an office behind the scenes, doing my accounting thing all day. I love it. What I had to do this week is stand behind a counter and kiss major ass to customers all week. I am NOT a good ass kisser. NOPE. I have one more night to work tomorrow and the nightmare will be over. Well I THOUGHT it would be a horrible experience-but miraculously it has been not so awful! I must say these people (customers) have been quite nice, not one of them got out of line with me. No name calling. No fist fights between them in line(yep-it's happened). Not even a scammer. We usually get lots of those. I have had the BEST conversations with some very nice people. Mostly elderly folks. Really, sweet~sweet~sweet people. I was on my best behavior and was kind to all of my cussies (customers HA!) and they were kind right back. I am also getting to know my night people a bit better and that's a plus as well. So to wrap it up I have to say that I would probably do it again but NOT on a full moon week. OH HELL NO. They are at their worst during a full moon.
OK lets really wrap it up now with a bit of gratitude shall we?

I work with customer's all day long at work. Usually the ones I enjoy the most are the older ones too. The only thing is that most of them are really hard of hearing and I have to yell so they can hear me.
I feel really bad screaming at the top of my lungs to a little ole' lady and her frail lil' husband with their 50 year-old blind poodle.
Besides, the rest of the my co-workers can hear me screaming away and they think I'm nuts.
Have a great weekend! Hope it's a relaxing one.
"depression sucks big doneky dick". Bwahahaha! I love you!
Lol, ok chickie, I did not sleep well last night either, I finally slept at 3 am... which sucked. It sounds like you are doing great! People actually fight in line? Do you work at the dollar store or something??? ;-)
Totally feelin ya on the sleepless late nights. It's definitely not fun.....
I can't stand sleepless nights...I don't think that Conneticut folks are the only rude ones I work all day with rude folks...they are wearing and terrible...I wish somehow that etiquette was required in school!
Thank you for this post!!!

Yes I hate people as well as I say over and over...
Yes I have things to be grateful for and I need to keep that up front!
Have yourself a kickin weekend!

Love the gratitude! And for the record I'm horrible at ass kissing, I'm more likely to get mine booted. (Hugs)Indigo

Big Sloppy Smoochies, Anniek
BTW--I used to say "sucks big donkey dick" all the time!!!! REALLY !!! Until I shocked a little old lady who overheard me into a heart attack...*wink
It sounds like a good experience with people being nice back at you because you were nice. Amazing how that works. I love how you write and think.
