I've noticed that my work days seem to have themes. A while back it was "weird people" day. Nearly every conversation I had that day was disfunctional. I talk a LOT in my new position with a LOT of people, so to have nearly all of those conversations so weird made me a little scared.
Earlier this week I was having a day where everything I touched turned out great! Some times even better than I had hoped for. I worked like a dog that day so that the rest of this week isn't a loss.
Today was argue day. Even the boiled egg I went to put in the fridge wanted to argue and escape. Kept slipping in my hand and nearly did a suicide dive to the floor. The insurance adjusters were argumentative beyond the normal back and forth. I had a guy actually ask me to speak more clearly even though it was obvious that his ears were the problem. The food court food server wanted to argue about how many bags she could put all my food to go in. An employee from another site wanted to argue that the adjuster requiring her to come in for her appointment this time after rescheduling twice was unreasonable. (I was just the messenger she was willing to shoot)
I don't care if I don't speak another word tonight. I just want a few minutes peace with no drama or conflict before I try to sleep.
Oh boy! This reminds me of a blurb on HLN that "studies showed" that the more people interacted with other people, the less their brain functioned." (or some such drivel) They ended the segment by saying that women were the most vulnerable, because we spend more brain time comparing ourselves to others than men do.
You enjoy your moments of peace and quiet with no drama, and I will take a moment of silence to honor you--and women all around the world.
(When this segment was on, hubby got a chuckle over it, because I am currently staying home and not interacting with a lot of people lately. He said, and I quote, "I guess you don't have that problem."
But guess who's brain is functioning more? I have to win that one, hands up.
