There are days, then there are days…

Sometimes I just really, really, realy despise humanity.

I won’t deny it.

It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then I’ll have a stint where I just don’t want to be around people because they bother me. I don’t want to talk to people because they bother me. I don’t want to look at or think about people because they bother me. I just want to lock myself in my room with a glass of iced tea, the fans going full blast, sit on the computer, and do nothing but things that please me and don’t include anyone else.

It’s very disconcerting, these phases in my tolerance for people. I get angry so easily with no real reasoning for it. I get angry over small things, like a simple question or the sound of someone’s voice. It makes no sense, and I know it makes no sense, but there it is…

It’s especially dangerous feeling this way at work if I happen to get a particularly unpleasant member on the phone. I have to watch myself very carefully because I can easily be mean when I feel like this.

Arg!

I feel like slamming my head against my keyboard! This is the plague of customer service. We are supposed to be nice and we are supposed to understand that sometimes people call us, not to do their banking, but just because they want to talk.

I’m sorry, I’m very sorry, but honestly sometimes I just don’t care. When someone calls to do a transfer, I don’t care about the detailed history that led up to needing said transfer. And I mean, it’s cool and all that you’re native american and know  ‘every language in the world’ (I shit you not, someone said this to me this morning), but you don’t need to tell me how this ties in with the Olympics, the Chargers, or the fact that you feel the need to run form authority.

Most of the time I don’t mind it. Most of the time I can just tune out or read my book while they blabber away. Other times, like today, I just can’t stand it. It grates on my nerves like steel wool.

I hate days like this. I’m not fit for work or any kind of social interaction at all.

This is a very whiny entry, and I apologize.
