It's Been Awhile
So it's been a couple of weeks since I have blogged. I went to the doctor today and I have lost 11 pounds. I wish it would have been 20 or 30 but 11 is good I guess I can deal with that. I am eating between 800-1100 calories a day, I need to exercise more or something. But it's not that hard for me to eat less it's actually convenient to mix up a protein shake and be done with it all. I will eat Christmas dinner but just smaller portions. I'm burned out at my job. It isn't really my job, it's the fact that I have been doing customer service for over 11 years and I am tired of being nice. I am tired of nasty mean people or people that take their problems out on others. I have always considered myself a people person but not anymore. Not like this. I want to go back to school and be a nurse. I know that you still have to deal with people and sometimes they don't appreciate you and they may even be mean and nasty but then I would feel like I am making some kind of difference. Or some days I feel like I could swear off people all together, become a hermit, be alone, but I think it's just the burn out talking. I am tired of being a doormat to preserve professionalism, I am tired of being called a fucking cunt and then being required to say, "I'm sorry that you feel that way, is there anything else I can assist you with?" in a pleasant voice. The only thing that gets me through is that not every single person I talk to is a complete ass. Most of them are pretty pleasant and some of them make me laugh, some of them flirt, some of them won't stop talking, and some give me things to think about. 75% of me wants to be a nurse and on bad days the other 25% of me wants to be an accountant or computer programmer and cut myself off from everyone. But the human body interest me, people interest me, but I am tired of being a doormat.

such language ( i have a bar of soap for you )
the grumpy one in your life
Ticia,
You could always come and work with me...benifits of working where i work include the fact that although you are always surrounded by people, you can't understand a word they say. (So you do not have to be a hermit, but can't be offended by their rude comments. also, you can say practicaly anything you want to them as long as you say it in a kind sounding voice. Kind of like talking to a baby. I know it is funny but true. The guy I work with on my line? I once told him..(sounding very sweet of course)..."You, my friend, are a complete and utter waste of space." He smiled and nodded, because all he understood was the "my friend" part of it. Tee Hee. Love ya, Dawn
This time of year people are just stressed, rude, hurried, etc. Customer service is hard any time of year, but see if after the holidays it gets better.
Of course nursing is a great field too. Finding time to study with the job, the kids, etc. might be hard, but if it's really something you want to try... why not. Just maybe take one class to see if you could handle it all. Good luck!
Happy holidays!
p.s. I see your hubby has a new blog, that's cool, I left him a message. It's a nice outlet.
