Hey Gem,

It sounds like you just got overwhelmed from catching it from every direction. I hate it when it's like that. Like every time you turn around it's something else to try to deal with.
Times like that, I tend to forget that there is anything good in my life because the bad is causing me so much pain.

As for no one caring... a lot of people care Gem, especially your children who depend on you to be there for them.

I wish I had something to say that would help. I know how hard it is dealing with co-workers. There always has to be one or two in the crowd that act like big jerks and make it miserable to be there. Working with the public is hard. People take their bad days out on you and you start to feel like a punching bag.

A couple weeks ago, I was in one of the Kmarts I service music for. I had a return to do. It took me all day, about 9 hours of working straight through. I didn't even take any breaks because I wanted to get it done and leave. I was tired. When I pushed the boxes to the back and found someone to sign the paperwork for me, she just huffed and jerked it out of my hand and acted like I had just commmitted some kind of crime for asking her to take five seconds to sign it. This woman is always like that. Everyone else is usually pretty nice, as far as the people I have to deal with. But she acts like it really pisses her off to have to sign one little paper. She's really been ugly to some of the other vendors. One is an older lady, probably close to 70. She works for the company that services movies, etc. She's told me some really ugly things that woman in the back has said to her. I'm really hoping she never talks to me that way, because I'm not going to stand there and just take it. That's the way I lived my life for the most part, just being ran over by everyone, but anymore I only take so much before I say something back.

Anyway....customers don't seem to realize what it's like or surely they wouldn't act so hateful.

Another day I was working, putting out music and this lady asked if I could check out her stuff. There wasn't anyone in electronics right at that moment. I said, "I'm sorry, I don't work for Kmart. I work for the music company. " She just gave me a snotty look and said, "so I guess that would be no?" I felt like saying..."duh"...but I just said "right". These people should have to work in customer service for a week or so and they'd have a whole new perspective.

Hope you are feeling better.
Love,
Sandy
