    Why do some people treat everything as a joke? Is it just some deep rooted insecurity on their part?

    As someone who does this a lot, i often wonder if it’s because I’ve never known any real tragedy in my life.

    What you have gone through would be considered major tragedy to some.

    She just knew how to find the light(er) in that situation

    Are we talking about the uterus fire or the houseterectomy

    Hey they really did burn out the inside of my uterus, while I was awake. Thanks for that flashback :grimace:

    Did I just read the words "houseterectomy" and "uterus fire"? :laugh:

    I wonder if working in retail actually does some psychological damage to people. The sheer volume of people that come through the store...like does that have some desensitisation effect on the staff? It’s not really normal to talk to like over 200 people in a day.

    Does anyone else have like a set of “go-to” happy memories in their catalogue of thoughts to elicit a smile without it appearing synthetic?

    I tried to get help today with getting some things repaired at home and the guy was really snarky and kinda rude. What he said has stuck on my brain all day. I'm seriously thinking about canceling my appointment with him. Should I?
    Can you get someone else to do the repairs.? There's no excuse for rudeness, he doesn't deserve your business.

    I have spoken to my family and they seem to think that since he is charging an affordable price then it's not a big deal. I don't look forward to meeting the guy. I think this will be his last repair project with us.

    I did have a bigger different project, building a new closet, planned soon but I will be calling someone else for that. So he cost himself some money and future business.

    I smile, if the other person appears interested in my presence. If the persons energy looks annoyed, not wanting to be bothered and short, I keep my face and my eyes moving in another direction.

    I didn’t realize smiling was complex, until I explained why and whom I’ll smile at.

    Sometimes I get snippy with an employee who's testing my patience, but sometimes you have to flip it and make him think he's doing you a favor just to get the job done.

    I think working in retail teaches people to developed a defensive or alert persona. The *kitten* they go through, because of some people, is scary. There are some retail places where showing up to work in a human sized hamster ball (for security) isn't such a half bad idea.

    So I got feedback from when I facilitated the reviewers and coaches. Some said they felt my emails were too abrupt, and by some I mean 2 out of 15 people.

    You know what? Boo hoo.
    Anytime you're in charge of anything anywhere you will always have people that are not happy.
    Life is tough. I'm not going to expend energy *kitten* footing because two people had issues. I had a job to do, and I did it well.

    Oh nice, I haven't tried that yet, I'll have to add it to my list. This brand is also amazing if you're up for trying more. They have some great flavors.

    I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I'm depressed. I tried to shake off the feedback I got from when I facilitated the coaches and reviewers. I know very well that you can't please everyone, and there will always always be someone that isn't happy.
    But it still bugs me.
    I'm just going to stay in bed the next three days.

    It started as an accident but now I just want to see what happens. 😁
