The Oscar Goes To.....

Me.

I pretend I feel great. I am functioning. I plow ahead. I smile. 
I want to believe if I act that way it will come. 

I pretend I give a shit while talking to customers on the phone.
When in my reality I just don't and I want to lie my head on my pillow and go away.

I act like the unreasonable demands are reasonable and I say it all with a smile.
The mean cranky ass man I spoke to yesterday was on my last nerve. 
He was a mean son of a bitch. I hung up, I had a good cry. 
I went downstairs and walked away from the office all while the phone was ringing. 
I just couldn't take another call. 
I sat in my chair, took my medicine then I just sat and stared at my dog.
Who I think, believes I have lost my marbles.

Cranky ass man told my husband I was a delight to work with.

Yea, I think I deserve an Oscar this week.

I know the feeling and when it hits, I try to sleep through it. Bad thing is, you can't sleep your life away, or cry your life away. Life goes on, whether we're up for it, or not. *sigh

I hate old crabby people. We had a real winner in yesterday that was bitching because the girl she had an appt with wasn't here at 1:00. Turns out that old crabby's appt was at 2 not 1.

Jayne, we all deserve better.

Julie, I bet she didn't apologize after she knew her mistake did she?
