Why me?!

[margotgrissom]

Do you know those days where you wake up and think: "Now I understand why some people suddenly decide to grab a gun and start shooting family, friends and co-workers." ?

No? Be grateful, you probably have a much better job than me.

I knew it was a high-stress job when they hired me, but over the last months things have gotten completely out of hand. It is like war, but without the fun shooting. No wonder we started to fall apart. Some people quit, others had to be treated for burn-out syndrome. The remaining colleagues started to fight a lot (including me) or be rude to our just-a-notch-above-braindead clients (including me). Some even started to threaten people and became violent (well... that was only me, to be honest). Most of us have either a sleep disorder or a nervous tick by now.

In my free-time I'm packing boxes because I'm gonna move in two weeks and I'm about to find out if you can skip sleeping altogether if you just get enough caffeine into your system.

Oh-kay... sorry for the rant, but I needed to get that out.

I'm gonna be a good girl now. I'll just grab a beer and something to eat, start to watch the lastest NCIS episode and shut up.

Cheers

Hmmm. *nods* Been there, got the t-shirt.

Would it be terribly cheeky to ask what you do?

I doing Customer Service for a big express freight company.

Probably sounds boring but it is in fact sheer terror.

-Did you get the email, I sent it back this morning?

[margotgrissom.livejournal.com]

Yes, thanks! Oh, and... You've got mail! :)

I replied back, too...

Listen, I hope you feel a bit better about what you said in this post. I'm sorry there's not much I can say or do to make you feel better...All I know is that I was once in the situation you are in now and I can completely understand where you are coming from. That and the fact the stress of it really doesn't feel worth it half the time. I just hope you start to feel better about things soon, and they ease off a bit for you. *hugs*

May I friend you? I've seen you around on TGS...

[margotgrissom.livejournal.com]

Sure, friend away :)

BTW: I adore that icon!

Thank you.

It's made by someone over at ogeecons - they're a whole lot of quotation ones there.
