Sending myself to my room

So, I decided to send myself to my room after acting like Oscar the Grouch yesterday. Thankfully there is no one here to vent to cause it would have been a bunch of verbal diarrhea that can be cured with a good nights sleep (or two). After running around the last few weeks I think I had had enough yesterday and have been anticipating a weekend to do n-o-t-h-i-n-g. I'll be surprised if I even get to my laundry and clean my house which was my original intent. I just need to rest.

The one thing that erked (?) me yesterday was when I needed to order cheques from my bank. I specifically took time out of my day and went to the bank to talk with a teller to order them. I didn't order them online (to lazy to figure out how and wanted to see visuals) and you can't order them through the drive-thru. When I got there I stood in line to wait to talk with someone only to find out I didn't have to wait in line and could order them with front reception. The teller escorted me over to front reception and I proceeded with my request. The part that I found inconsiderate is when someone called and they take precidence over the person standing in front of them. So, I had to wait till the receptionist excused herself from our 'live' conversation so she can meet the needs of someone on the phone.

Am I being impatient? Possibly, but that was a portion of my grumpy attitude but I seriously felt like calling her so I could have her attention when I was only 3ft from her. I just think its inconsiderate. Always have.

THEN.....other stuff happened too but there's no point because I just need to chalk it up to me being impatient and needing sleep. And you'd think I'm being a total loser about something and overreacting. But I dont' care...yesterday I was in a crappy mood. It's not like I was rude to her but I definitely wasn't my joking self. I even apologized but still I felt like walking out and going somewhere else where I'd get better service.

Anyway, I'm in my room. Been here since yesterday afternoon and plan to sleep some more and hopefully by church service tomorrow there will be a new spring in my step and twinkle in my eye. But don't count on it. I mainly just need sleep, peace and quiet. Funny I say that where the loudest thing going on in my house is me typing. But the noise is my life is too big right now.

  1. Customer service is just not what it used to be. I was always taught that the 'live' person takes absolute precidence over whoever is on the phone. I had the same thing happen to me at a UPS store. The guy answered the phone and I stood there for almost 10 mins. What made it worse was my mum & the boys were waiting in the car for me and we were going to meet my dad for lunch. I was annoyed but for whatever reason didn't walk out and go across to the Shopper's and send it Canada Express post instead. Not sure why we put up with the poor service we get. Glad you got the rest you needed though.
